04/06/2019 Trip – Happy Breach
On 04/06/2019 at 08:15 am, Marius skippered the AB Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC at 08:15 am. We were privileged to be joined by 10 ladies from the tourism industry for a Whale and Dolphin Watching trip. There were part of larger group of 20 so one elected to go to the islands whilst our group 'trusted our judgement' and elected to go and see whales at Cape Recife rather. The Humpback Whales are passing by Algoa Bay in ever increasing numbers so hopes were high of a sighting. On the way we sneaked a look at our 'secret spot' for Humpback Dolphins but came …
01/06/2019 Trip – The Seafari App will be happy with our Humpback Dolphin Sighting
On 01/06/2019 at 12:30 pm, Kyle skippered the AB Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to Cape Recife, leaving from PEDSAC at 12:30 pm. Most of our guests today are volunteering at United Through Sport - Nick Mould and his team are doing a sterling job with our youth and the wonderful volunteers who assist with his programme. In the briefing I remarked to our Guests that the Algoa Bay Data Mapping Project and the NMU's Seafari App were most interested in sightings of Humpback Dolphins as these creatures are very rare and the population is estimated to be in the region of 1000 individuals. On our way …
Humpback Dolphins
With less than 1,000 individuals left in the country, the humpback dolphin is South Africa's most endangered dolphin species and the SouSA project is seeking help to do something about it. AB Marine has spotted Humpback Dolphins in Algoa Bay on a number of occasions in the same general area. How you can help: If you have you ever seen a humpback dolphin in South Africa or have pictures of humpback dolphins in South Africa the SouSA Project is asking you to submit your sightings to the Seafari App (available for iOS and Android). The SouSA project is an inter-group collaboration on the scientific research on Indian Ocean humpback …
Humpback Time
The time that everyone gets excited is upon us - a few sightings of Humpback Whales last week is now turning into a few more as they start traveling through Algoa Bay. Algoa Bay is frequented by a number of whale and dolphin species all year round. Schools of bottlenose dolphins leap out of the water daily, and can often be observed gliding parallel to the coast in the early morning whilst Brydes whales 'sneak' around. Between the months of May and December, massive Humpback whales and Southern Right whales can be seen moving slowly and majestically through these temperate waters. Having recently given birth, mothers are frequently …
Fishing Line Tragedy – Bottlenose Dolphins Badly Injured
The images are NOT for Sensitive Viewers! Whilst on a morning Whale and Dolphin Watching cruise with AB Marine on Tuesday 14 April 2019, Marine Biologist Eirik Grønningsæter, photographed two Bottlenose Dolphins in great distress. We had been cruising along the Port Elizabeth beachfront and had just viewed a large pod of Bottlenose off of Summerstand's Pollok Beach. The literally hundreds of dolphins ranging up and down that stretch of coast kept us and our guests enthralled as the youngsters came closer and adults jumped for the joy of living. A little bit further out to sea towards Cape Receife a smaller pod of dolphins were …
