We are excited to share our unique partnership with Simply Southern Collection with their release of Sea Turtle Tracking Plush. These super soft stuffed animals allow you the chance to track BHI Conservancy's satellite-tagged sea turtles. 

This tracking program began in January 2024 with Scarlett and Sandy, both loggerhead sea turtles, who were tagged here on Bald Head Island by our Sea Turtle Protection Team. In June 2024, our turtles were joined by the Inwater Research Group with the addition of five satellite-tagged sea turtles. New turtles from both organizations will be incorporated as this program expands! 

A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of Simply Southern's Sea Turtle Tracking Bracelets, Tees, and Plush go back to the BHI Conservancy. You can learn more about our partnership with Simply Southern and our annual Simply Southern Day supporting the BHI Conservancy. 

• Small plush measures approx. 9" x 8.5"
• Large plush measures approx. 15" x 15"

How Does It Work? 

Every Simply Southern Sea Turtle Tracking Plush includes access to your very own sea turtle to track. Included with your plush is a card that provides your sea turtle's name, age, picture and a website to access your sea turtle's GPS tracking. On the sea turtle's tracking page, you can follow their incredible journey on an interactive tracking map.

Sea turtles are equipped with GPS tracking devices thanks to the generous support of our very own Bald Head Island Conservancy as well as Inwater Research Group. You can follow along on a map with our Sea Turtle Protection Team to see exactly where your sea turtle has traveled. Best of all, your purchase helps support our Sea Turtle Protection Program.

At times, the GPS tracker on your sea turtle may show “no activity since ——.” This may be due to a few technical reasons—the GPS antenna may be damaged, algae have grown over the sensors that tell the transmitter to send signals, or the batteries that power the transmitter no longer work. If you experience this issue, please send an email to [email protected].
