Walter And Navi - Our Team Members
Who Helped Rescue The Sick Turtle
The British author - Michael Morpurgo once said -
Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive,
funny, and entertaining. We owe them a duty of
care as we do to children. It was a similar
outlook that led to the establishment of the
Cayman Turtle Centre. When we heard about the sea
turtle that was found afloat in Crystal Harbour
by local boaters last Wednesday, our team members
- Walter and Navi instantly offered to volunteer
and assist Department of Environment for
extricating the turtle.

Cayman Turtle Encounters
There are only a few species so ancient that they
can say they watched dinosaurs evolve and then
later become extinct. As you start your
adventure, your first encounter will take you
within feet of some of the most majestic and
ancient animals in the world! The Genesis Pond is
home to our Green Sea Turtles who have matured
and are at or near the age to start reproducing
which is usually at about 16 years of age in
captivity. Turtles return to the nesting beaches
of their mothers and grandmothers. The beach at
the edge of the pond allows female turtles to
nest in an environment very similar to the ones
they would nest in if they were in the wild.
