CONSERVATION
We support shark research, and consult on a regular basis with research biologists from leading South African
Universities and museums as well as international researchers
affiliated to universities and recognised research institutions.
In 2005 Marine Dynamics joined forces with Dyer Island Cruises, the boat-based whale watching operator in Kleinbaai. Dyer Island Cruises has for many years been actively involved in coastal conservation, especially on Dyer Island. The team assists with the transport and care of oiled and injured seabirds, the artificial penguin nest project on the island, assisting researchers in field work and collecting data about marine life for scientists.

We monitor a 40 km stretch of coast for injured or ill seabirds and marine mammals. We measure, photograph and collect samples from dead cetaceans that strand along the coast.
