8. Proposed Marine Protected Area:The Marine Section of Addo Elephant National Park currently consists of the Bird Island and St Croix Island groups. The 120 000 Cape Gannet colony on Bird Island is the largest in the world. The Bird Island group is a current MPA. A larger MPA is proposed for the protection of declining penguin and fish populations. There are about 6 500 breeding pairs of critically endangered African penguins on St. Croix island; the largest breeding colony in the world. The Southern Right Whale and Great White Shark in these waters complete Addo Elephant National Park’s “Big 7”. Pods of Bottlenose Dolphins, Tursiops truncates, are a common sight in the waves along the shores of this coastline.
Note: Trips to Bird Island are not offered to visitors due to the ecological sensitivity of the islands. Whale watching boat trips are only offered by private licenced whale watching operators in Port Elizabeth and not by the Park. Accredited operators available on request.* Find out more about the Marine Section in your Official Addo Guide!
