Humpback rescue Risso's rescue Central Coast rescue Australia has many whale strandings, and Orrca works with the National Parks and Wildlife Service at these events. Even by the mid 1980s, few animals could be saved. However Australia has taken a leading role in the development of whale rescue techniques, and today there is an excellent success record at mass strandings. Orrca also cares for hauled-out seals needing protection when they come ashore to rest or recover. We have active research programs to better understand the problems that marine mammals face, and to discover possible solutions.
Public education is another of our activities.
