Due to ocean pollution, habitat loss, and human disturbance, just 0.1% of turtle hatchlings in the Dutch Caribbean survive to adulthood. With Blue Marine Foundation, we’re working to change those odds.
How your purchase helps

- Protecting endangered nests from predators and disturbance
- Keeping beaches clean and safe for nesting
- Guiding hatchlings safely to the sea, improving their chances of survival
“Turtles play an incredibly important role in the underwater world - from creating habitats for other marine life, to balancing beach ecosystems, and sustaining the ocean’s delicate food web. I’m so excited that with your help, we’re doing our part to protect this vital species.”
– Elizabeth, Founder & Creative Director
Our commitment to ocean conservation
Since the launch of our partnership with Blue Marine Foundation in 2022, we’ve proudly supported efforts that have given up to two million turtle hatchlings a fighting chance. To ensure this keystone species continues to thrive, we commit to raising £42,000 for Blue Marine Foundation every year.*
*Each year, Elizabeth Scarlett commits a minimum of £42,000 to fund turtle conservation projects in Ascension and the Dutch Caribbean. This works out as £2.10 from the sale of each item. The commitment includes funding for five turtle rangers during nesting seasons, as well as for signage and education in the local communities. These teams help protect approximately 2 million turtle hatchlings per year.
