Turtle Rescue Network roadshow returns

When tiny sea turtles wash ashore along the Garden Route, their survival often depends on the first person who spots them.

Knowing what to do in those critical moments can mean the difference between life and death, and this February, locals will have the chance to learn exactly how to help. Die Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation will once again bring its annual Turtle Rescue Network roadshow to the Garden Route, sharing vital information on how to safely rescue and transport stranded marine turtle hatchlings found along the shoreline.

The Turtle Rescue Network has played a key role in numerous successful rescues over the years, thanks to strong cooperation between members of the public, conservation organisations and ocean-focused marine NGOs.
