What a lovely afternoon yesterday ☺️

What an awesome Sunday morning we had on the ocean. It was a feeding frenzy in the Buffalo Bay area. Every local marine mammal was out to feast. This included Bryde's whales, the humpback dolphins, the African Penguins, and the Cape fur seals.
We also had a special visitor on our boat. Thank you, Mark Dixon, from @garden_route_trail who joined us, and who shared his extensive knowledge of ocean and coastal life.
It was a great day.

What a beautiful day on the ocean yesterday 💙🌊👌
Skipper Johannes Pikaan shared some of his videos with us.
1. Bottlenose dolphins 🐬

Both hunting, socialising, and enjoying the beautiful ocean vibes.

Tracks Cast in Stone.
Dr Charles Helm entertained us last night with his talk of some ancient discoveries over the last few decades along our very own coastline.
Numerous Pleistocene (Geologic period of approximately 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) vertebrate tracksites have been identified on aeolianite (Pertaining to wind activity in the study of geology and weather and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth) palaeosurfaces (Palaeosurfaces is an area where geologists and geomorphologists can combine their expertise to provide a more holistic treatment of the processes that helped shape the face of the Earth) in the Garden Route National Park, West Coast National Park, and Addo Elephant National Park. In the Garden Route National Park alone, 57 Pleistocene vertebrate tracksites have been discovered. An equilibrium exists, whereby new sites become exposed through cliff-collapse events, while known sites slump into the ocean, are eroded through the action of wind and water, or are destroyed through wave action. Engraved graffiti poses a further threat. These sites complement the traditional body fossil record and have significant palaeoenvironmental and palaeoanthropological implications. Hominin sites are of global importance: one contains the oldest tracks attributed to Homo sapiens, others contain patterns made in sand by ancestral humans and constitutes a form of early palaeoart Collectively, these sites have substantial geoheritage value.

Eco Marine Tours are for exploring the wonders of Knysna and the big blue ocean.
Yesterday was a stunning day on the ocean again.

The recent upwelling of the ocean has almost forced some of our marinelife to move in closer inshore. Upwelling is a process that occurs when cold, nutrient-rich water from deep in the ocean rises to the surface. It's caused by wind blowing along the coast, which pushes surface water away, forcing some of its travellers that move with the currents to come in closer to
shore, and is also the reason why we find some marinelife wash up on shores , i.e., turtles, fish, sharks etc 🐢

3 March 2025 is World Wildlife Day, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate this day by sharing the important contributions that whales have on the planet.
Whales play an important role on the planet as they capture carbon from the atmosphere, support ocean food chains, and increase phytoplankton production.
We have the pleasure of observing them and the honour of sharing their space.
The United Nations World Wildlife Day (WWD) is celebrated every year on 3 March to celebrate wild animals and plants. Every year, they recognize the unique roles and contributions of wildlife to people and the planet.
