Thank you for all of the enquiries we have received overnight and this morning. Dolphin Marine Conservation Park is still closed. We are in the process of planning our re-opening, which involves working within strict government guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of our animals, customers and team members.
Climate change is warming our oceans and our beaches, and given the sex of a sea turtle is determined by the temperature of the nest during incubation, we are seeing more and more female turtles. This means that nests in cooler climates, such as NSW, produce mainly male offspring, and hence are of vital importance to the survival of the species.
Communities grant & turtle release both a success! Read More »
