Located on Sri Lanka’s southern coast in Hikkaduwa, our hatchery is a symbol of our commitment to protecting one of the ocean’s most ancient and vulnerable creatures.
Each day, we nurture sea turtle hatchlings as they make their first journey and provide critical rehabilitation to injured adults, ensuring every life stage benefits from expert care and protection.
At the heart of our community-driven mission are guided tours, hands-on volunteer programs, and outreach events that deepen visitors’ connection to Sri Lanka’s fragile coastal ecosystems. Whether you’re touring the hatchery, joining us as a volunteer, or donating to support our rescue and rehabilitation efforts, you play a vital role in ensuring sea turtles continue to thrive.
Together, we’re not only safeguarding Sri Lanka’s sea turtle populations—we’re building a healthier, more vibrant ocean future through your generosity and engagement.
Your support makes a real difference! Through donations, volunteering, or sharing our work, you protect Sri Lanka’s sea turtles.
