Be a lifeline to stranded whales.

Each year hundreds of whales strand on our shores. Without human help, these animals will suffer terribly and die.

New Zealand has one of the highest stranding rates in the world. But we also have one of the highest rescue success rates. If a whale or dolphin stranded on a beach near you - would you know what to do?

Successful rescue depends on properly trained volunteers.  And you can become one with Project Jonah’s help. 

Project Jonah has been actively saving stranded whales for more than 30 years.  They can give you the skills and confidence to take the right steps and provide first aid to these animals in their most desperate hour of need.

Their course takes just one day, costs $80 ($50 if you’re a student) and they’ll teach you everything you need to know about successful dolphin and whale rescue.

They run training courses around the country and we’re proud to host their upcoming course at Dive! Tutukaka on Sunday 12 October 2008.

Once trained, you’ll be added to Project Jonah’s national stranding database, so that when a stranding occurs, your lifesaving skills can be called upon.

We can’t predict when a stranding will happen, but with Project Jonah training you know you’ll be ready to help when one does. Join their network of volunteers and become a Marine Mammal Medic today.
