Different Cormoran species at Dyer Island, South Africa

Description

The Dyer Island Conservation Trust delivers unique conservation and research programmes in the fragile and critically important marine ecosystem at the southern-most tip of Africa. They strive to protect the largest surviving colonies of the endangered African Penguin whose numbers are at an all-time low; the globally important breeding and calving grounds of the Southern Right Whale; and, the world’s densest populations of the vulnerable Great White Shark. The island itself host huge colonies of different Cormoran, Tern and Gull-breeding colonies as well as high densities of Sea Lions.
