Since 1993, we’ve conducted vital conservation and research at the colony and a second control site to monitor Ōamaru’s little penguin populations and support the species’ wider conservation efforts. Explore our conservation and research efforts below.
We’re always working to care for and learn more about little penguins. Our conservation work helps to ensure they can continue to thrive here in Ōamaru and throughout New Zealand. Check out what we get up to in the colony on a typical day!
