MOSSEL BAY NEWS -  The Two Oceans Turtle Road Trip visited Mossel Bay recently, continuing its inspiring mission to raise awareness about endangered sea turtles in southern Africa's oceans. 

For the past few years, the dedicated team from the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation in Cape Town has embarked on this educational journey, primarily focusing on enlightening young people about the challenges facing our ocean's vulnerable turtle populations. 

This year, the Turtle Team also extended their outreach to the broader public, sharing valuable insight into the important conservation work being done. 

The Turtle Team hosts an engaging session at Delfino's Seaside Restaurant in Mossel Bay.

Adding to the excitement was Sammy, the beloved mascot of the Stranded Marine Animal Rescue Team (Smart), who happily posed for some photos after the informative talks.
