50 Years of Rehabilitation
Since we launched on Boxing Day in 1970, we’ve always focussed on marine animal rehabilitation. We’re passionate about marine life, and with the growing rate of ocean plastics and pollution, unfortunately, more and more marine animals are brought to us for our help.
This passion inspired our team to set up our charity Dolphin Marine Rescue Animal Rehab Trust (DMRART) which is developing plans to build a specialised marine and native wildlife triage hospital in Coffs Harbour.
From fishing hooks stuck in throats, fishing wire in bellies, and injuries caused by human interaction such as boats, our marine animal care team has worked tirelessly to rehabilitate and release hundreds of animals including dolphins, seals, turtles, and seabirds. Our rehabilitation efforts at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park truly give these animals a second chance at life.
