A continuous stream of seabirds, especially penguins, are found injured, oiled or sick on Dyer Island and the adjacent coastline. The average cost of rescuing a seabird is R1000, but every contribution helps. We have also succesfully helped stranded whales/dolphins/seals and assist wherever we can. See our video page for various successful rescue efforts.
