Sardine run
The wild coast
Billions of sardines (Sardinops sagax) spawn in the cool waters of the Agulhas Bank and move northward along the east coast of South Africa. Their numbers of sardine create a feeding frenzy along the coastline. The run, containing millions of individual sardines, occurs annually between May and August when a coastal current of cold water heads north from the Agulhas Bank up to Mozambique.

Seal Pup Rescue and Rehabilitation
In conjunction with Tenikwa wildlife awareness and rehabilitation center – Fur seals pups are completely land based for the first 10-12 weeks, as they need to built strength and learn how to swim first through trial and error. These little guys often get knocked off the rocks by other seals or stormy swell before they are ready, the lucky ones from time to time make it to beach without drowning but exhausted and mostly dehydrated, Tenikwa gives them medical check-up and re-hydrates them before we reunite them with the colony.They have 50% survival rate if reunited with the colony within 3 days.
NSRI program
For Station 14 (Plettenberg Bay) station commander Jaco Kruger, the word “collective” is an important one. Jaco has been a volunteer at Station 14 for 17 years and station commander for a year. And if his experience serving as a volunteer has taught him anything, it’s that the success of a station depends on crew working as a collective. “Training is key to the success of our station. Rescues and training create a bond among volunteers that is near indestructible. We are a great team of strong individuals working as a collective,” he says.
Jaco comes from a lifesaving background, and soon after moving to Plett, he joined Station 14.
