STRANDINGS
OF PONTA

 

Since 1997 the Dolphin Team has been collecting and storing data on stranded marine mega fauna including dolphins, whales, whale sharks, rays and turtles in the Ponta do Ouro.

 

Stranded marine mammals are important to science as some species that strand have never been recorded alive in our water before, like the True Beaked whale that stranded in 2007!

Retrieving animals off the beach requires special permission. Our Center has been working with both the Reserve and the Natural History Museum in Maputo and has a Memorandum of Understanding for this purpose.
