We came back a second day and had just as much fun as our first! Thanks again for a great time and making our trip to SPI so rememberable!
Sonia Moreno 07-Jan-2012 07:42
ive noticed that turtles have the capacity to help somebody relax when they feel sad or are mad, because whenever i feel like that i stare at my baby turtles and they stare back at me and that makes me feel happy and calm... i love my turtles droh and jo-jo :)
Sonia Moreno 07-Jan-2012 07:38
im 100% deeply in love with turtles, any type of turtles:) they are so peaceful and help me feel good just by looking at them as they swim around the aquarium or as they eat... i have two red eared turtles, and im planning to go for a tortoise, besides the lord, my husband and my baby, turtles are my joy, happiness, love and passion... as soon as my little one is old enough im going to try my best to be able to work at a turtles place, im from edinburg but i can do my best to get anywhere theres turtles... my email is smoreno816@hotmail.com or look for me on facebook as Sonia Contreras Moreno... send me a msg to let me know how u know bout me... serious people only, interested in turtles and any other sea animals:) GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Helping Tes,
We have been following the care of Tes all the way in Wisconsin on our mothers Facebook page. Your page is wonderful and I'm so happy that she was able to get help fast. Can you post some more pictures of her as she recovers.

I visited in February of 2009 from Michigan and I loved this place! We happened to drive by and I thought it would be interesting so we stopped. This was the best part of my little mini-vacation and I drew up a design for a tattoo of a sea turtle that reads "South Padre Island 2009" in its flippers & shell. This was one of the best experiences of my life and I was happy to see a website for it! Thanks for the once in a lifetime chance to get up close and personal with such wonderful creatures!

We found an Atlantic Green yesterday on the north end of South Padre Island. It was trapped in the Jetty Rocks. A Volunteer from Sea Turtle Inc rescued it. She allowed my son, who spotted it, to name it. He named it Abby after his mom. I hope we will see Abby, the sea turtle's, pictures on this page soon.
Chris 15-Apr-2010 21:21
I wish there was a program where we could "adopt" a sea turtle. We could pay an adoption fee and a tracking device would be inserted into our adopted turtle and we then could keep up with him/her online to see what they are up to. I think that would be neat and educational to our children at the same time. What do you think?
Marissa 09-Apr-2010 23:13
I come to Spouth Padre EVERY year year 2ice a year (Nov. and August) and every time we go we visit sea turtle inc.
This past year we came in November and I rescued ATlantic Green, Marissa. She got released (YAY) on Wednesday ( 4-7-10 )!
Sea Turtle Inc made her lok so much healthier and SOOOOOOO much happier!
She was supposed to be released in June but Sea Turtle Inc. made her better.
Keep up the good work!
- Marissa
JULIA 09-Apr-2010 15:57

Marissa 07-Apr-2010 20:27
Please post pictures of Marissa before she is being released I really wanted to see her one last time!
The most recent picture you have is in December where she is looking SO much healthier and would love to get one last glimpse of her!

Barbara 09-Jul-2009 19:20
We had a great time at SPI. Visited the Sanctuary 2x! :-) If there is still time to name the hatchling my suggestion is: Sapaii, or Sapaisla.
Good luck

I feel in love with sea turtles on my first visit to Sea Turtle Inc. in May 2007 as part of my graduation present from my husband. I am a kindergarten teacher and become very excited when I get the opportunity to share my love for these beautiful creatures with my students. I am excited to say...I will be bringing my own 3 children this June to see these special creatures up close and personal. We are all looking forward to it!

Greeting to all at Sea Turtle, Inc.! Joe and I were thrilled to see all of the publicity surrounding Allison. My cousin in Reedsburg, WI wrote to ask me if Joe and I met Allison when we were in S.P. this year. We were so proud to say that we had met Allison last year too, before she was the famous Ninja turtle! Adrian, you are doing a great job of keeping your site current. I enjoyed the pictures of all of your current "residents". Thank you everyone, for welcoming Joe and I back as volunteers this year. We had a great time! Hope to see you all next year. If any of you are in our area of Council Bluffs, IA, please call us. We have plenty of extra room for guests! Joe and Betsy Heskew

I have been a sea turtle advocate for many years. I am so excited to come to you and see the turtles and learn how you rehabilitate them. (i have a large sea turtle tattooed on my leg and a red ear slider on one ankle) Thank you for all the hard work that you do for these amazing creatures!

I recently became a sea turtle fan when we swam with them wild in Maui - such majestic creatures. It's wonderful to see you taking such gentle care of them - thank you for putting up this great site.

My best wishes go out to the soon to be released creatures. And best of luck with Allison's prosthetics!

I have been so moved by sea turtles, since my visit to your sanctuary in 2000. I was so excited to see your web sight. I can not wait to see some of your live footage.
Thanks, Elysia from Iowa
