Rescuing our ocean’s animals!

Sub-antarctic and South African fur seals periodically wash up on our beaches, sometimes hundreds of kilometres from their nearest colonies.

Sub-antarctic seals are usually exhausted when they reach our shores and need time to rest peacefully before returning to the sea.
If seals are injured, they are given immediate treatment based on fluid replacement and antibiotic and vitamin administration.

It can take anything from one to four months before the seal is strong enough to be released.

If you find a seal on the beach please call the Sea World seal team. Please do not attempt to feed or touch the seal.
