Happy Reverse the Red Day!
With many environmental issues dominating the media, particularly climate change, biodiversity loss is an often overlooked, yet just as significant, threat. Reverse the Red is a pioneering global movement that works to reverse biodiversity loss and showcase positive achievements for species on the brink of collapse - by celebrating efforts that bring species back from being "endangered". Today, 7 February 2024, is the second Reverse the Red Day!
The weird and wonderful sunfish: Everything you need to know!
Recently, our Two Oceans Aquarium team was involved in a huge sunfish rescue in the Transnet Robinson Dry Dock. To many, the sunfish is an almost alien-looking animal – with a weirdly shaped body that seems to be missing another half, it could be from another planet. Naturally, the rescue sparked many questions from our Aquarium family: What is a sunfish? Where do they live? What do they eat?

Our Turtle Conservation Centre’s 7th annual Turtle Road Trip was an absolute success
As our Two Oceans Aquarium family and turtle community may know, turtle stranding season is coming up. This is an extremely busy time for our Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation’s Turtle Conservation Centre – the team has been known to receive up to 250 turtle hatchlings, all in need of care and rehabilitation before being released. In anticipation of this eventful season, the Turtle Conservation Centre recruits several staff members to travel the Western Cape coastline, raising awareness and conducting rescue training about turtle stranding. This year, eight intrepid staff members journeyed along the Garden Route and the Overberg from 11 to 19 February.
