ADOPT A TURTLE
Every turtle has a story — and by adopting one, you become part of it. Your adoption directly supports our ongoing research, monitoring, and conservation efforts to protect the sea turtles of the Perhentian Islands. No matter where you are in the world, adopting a turtle is a meaningful way to make a lasting impact and become part of the PTP family.
Our database currently includes 157 identified foraging green sea turtles. Below, you’ll find a selection of some of our most frequently sighted turtles, along with a Google Form where you can learn more about the adoption campaign and secure your adoption.

Lucy
Turtle ID: PG0468U
Species: Green
Sex: Unknown
Life Stage: Juvenile
Lucy received her name due to lack of colouring which is a term called leucistic. She is a juvenile turtle and was the most frequent turtle to be sighted in April 2026 as she loves to munch on the seagrass beds at Telek Pauh.
She was first sighted in 2024. Since then, she has suffered a boat strike injury but recovered very well. You can see the scar on her carapace near her tail.
