Happy Spring Day! As the seasons change, the wild world around us comes alive. Reptiles start to bask in the warmth, birds sing their sweet melodies and build cozy nests, and nature awakens from its winter slumber. Let's celebrate the beauty of renewal and the magic of this special day!

A new project we are involved in. Very exciting!

🌊 The CoastWatchers of Marine Watch 🌊

CoastWatchers is a result of local communities, organisations and SANParks Honorary Rangers uniting to support SANParks - Table Mountain National Park Marine Unit in their marine conservation duties for the Table Mountain and Robben Island Marine Protected Areas. Table Mountain MPA extends from Bailey's Cottage in Muizenberg to Mouille Point Lighthouse and also includes 6 No Take Zones 🐳

Few realise that the region below the High-Water Mark (HWM) is an MPA and therefore falls under the jurisdiction and custodianship of SANParks and its TMNP Marine Unit. CoastWatchers have split the coastline of the Cape Peninsula into sections to be overseen by volunteer co-ordinators. These co-ordinators will be contributing to citizen science projects, monitoring for any wildlife in distress and participating in the active conservation of these two MPAs. There will soon be an awareness roadshow encouraging communities to meet their section coordinators and find out more about the Table Mountain MPA with ongoing education and awareness drives to promote coastal protection and responsible behaviour within these protected spaces 🦈

It is imperative that the response of the TMNP Marine Unit to a situation is strengthened by the volunteer CoastWatchers network built along the Cape Peninsula coastline. While SANParks are the legal custodians of South Africa’s natural heritage, it is the responsibility of every South African to protect it 🐙

Organisations currently involved in CoastWatchers:
~ Guardians of the Deep NPC
~ SANParks Honorary Rangers
~ Forever Young seniors club
~ Mutheera's Project's
~ Bos Kinnes
~ Project Noordhoeked
~ Captain Jack's Ocean Safaris Hout Bay
~ RockHopper Tours
~ Simon's Town Boat Company

Training and support is being provided by Brett Glasby, WildMan Wildlife Management Consultancy

Today we honour one of the most misunderstood animals. These creatures are often feared and persecuted, killed for simply existing. Here at WildMan we respect them for their adaptability and uniqueness. We acknowledge their valuable ecological role in the environment. If you are interested in learning more about these amazing animals then reach out to us.

WildMan responded to this very sad case. The poor animal was in a very difficult location to access and sadly succumbed to its injuries. Please keep dogs on leads.

WildMan had an otterly awesome morning!

WildMan recently had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) on their mark-recapture project at the stunning Kleinzee seal colony! As the largest land-based Cape Fur Seal breeding colony in South Africa, Kleinzee offers the perfect setting for research projects. We're thrilled to have contributed our skills and knowledge to this initiative. The experience was made even more special by the amazing wildlife sightings around the colony, including Black-Backed Jackals and Chacma Baboons. A huge thank you to DFFE for this unforgettable experience!
