Our expert team is the first port of call for marine animal rescues in the area, and we form part of the Overberg Stranding Network. We have dedicated recovery vessels and vehicles.

Necropsies are done on-site, by our marine biologists or other experts, and samples are provided to various research centres. The samples and material we collect is used for scientific projects and museum collections. We provide the Department of Environmental Affairs and the Mammal Research Institute of the University of Pretoria with data from all marine mammal strandings in our area.

We have been involved in the rescue and retrieval of dolphins, whales, seals, turtles (our penguin sanctuary is the drop off point for turtles), sharks, stingrays, and of course seabirds. A world first was the white sharks washing up post orca predation and our team was provided a permit to conduct the necropsy on site.
