Together we can protect them and save them from harm Through you, we care for marine mammals in three ways.

RESCUE We deliver essential first aid to stranded or injured marine mammals. Over the years we have equipped everyday New Zealanders with the basic skills needed to rescue stranded dolphins and whales. Through this network, thousands of animals have been saved.

ACTION We inform and educate people and give them a way to take part. Through our public education and awareness campaigns we inspire, motivate and empower New Zealanders to make a tangible difference to the lives of marine mammals.

PROTECTION We act as a watchdog and encourage key decision makers to do the right thing. We expose marine mammal suffering and help create and enforce laws that will protect these animals.
