  • Finding little blues

    Knowing how many little blues live here and where their burrows are is important data for our conservation work. We recruit Alastair Judkins and his penguin-seeking dog, Mena, from the Kaikoura Ocean Research Institute for this important research. Subject to funding the next survey will be in Oct 2024.

  • Providing a helping hand.

    Nest boxes provide a safe haven for recovered sick or injured penguins before they are released. The boxes also help to keep little blues safer from predation. We need materials for new boxes & maintenance.

    Our awesome team of volunteers also clear the traplines along the coast. We need to purchase lure, maintain the traps, replace and add additional trap boxes.

  • Caring for little blues

    Caring for our little blues takes many volunteer hours as well as costly equipment, medications, transport expenses and consumables. Your support helps provide these so Mana can continue her work in rehabilitating injured or sick little blues before they are released back to their habitat.
