Another great volunteer organisation helping out our beautiful turtles and seabirds and snakes.
We stopped by the awesome team at Australian Seabird & Turtle Rescue in Ballina in northern NSW.
Australian Seabird & Turtle Rescue Inc. (ASTR) was formed in 1992 when the late Lance Ferris discovered that 35% of Ballina’s pelicans were injured by fishing tackle. He discovered that pelicans in other major estuaries throughout NSW were suffering from the same fate. Now a volunteer organisation, ASR operates branches along the NSW coastline, with volunteer members rescue and rehabilitate seabirds, shorebirds, sea turtles and sea snakes.
How cute are these guys....
