Olga

Olga was found floating in the ocean near a resort in 2019. She had already lost her front left flipper, most likely due to entanglement in a ghost-net. She arrived at our rescue centre unable to dive and dehydrated & our team did an amazing job stabilizing her. Unfortunately, she developed chronic buoyancy syndrome, and has not shown signs of improvement despite our efforts over the years. This means that there is a strong possibility that we will not be able to release Olga back into the wild.

 

We continue to provide enrichment feeding and toys to make her life more enjoyable in the tank and encourage her to try to dive. We remain hopeful that one day Olga may overcome her buoyancy syndrome and be able to go back to the ocean.
