I decided to do a series on the South African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre (SAMREC) this week. SAMREC is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of marine birds with most of their focus being on the endangered African Penguins which breed on St Croix Island in Algoa Bay. Their centre at Cape Recife is open for visits where a staff member with take the public of a tour of the facilities. The first section on the tour is the Interpretive Centre, also known as the "Please touch room". Here they have examples of not just marine birds, but also other marine and land animals as well as lots of other interesting bits and pieces.
Oh how I love the hands on stuff.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Another "must visit" for when we are next in PE!
ReplyDeleteExcellent place SAMREC - friendly staff and lots for the children to see and learn.
ReplyDeleteI liked the surfing post too - long lenses not always a necessity - you might just have to get your feet and legs wet :)
I hope what they do here will make a difference.
