For over 23 years, ORCA has pioneered in ocean conservation in Peru developing long-term research, rescue operations, veterinary sciences, education campaigns and conservation strategies with ecological values as the pillars for the protection of the marine ecosystem.
THE SOUTH PACIFIC MARINE MAMMAL CENTER
At our rescue and rehabilitation center, ORCA provides veterinary care for sea-lions, dolphins, marine otters,
sea turtles and penguins.
We have successfully rehabilitated
cases of gastritis, pneumonia, fractures, septicemia, kidney
failure, post-traumatic stress disorder, along with many other
physical and psico-ethological disorders. ORCA's pioneering
veterinary science research includes the discovery of cancer and
diabetes in South American sea-lions, as well as the outbreaks
of Distemper disease and Helicobacter sp. gastritis
syndrome along the Peruvian coast. Our Center has also
successfully treated bottle-nose dolphins, Galapagos fur
seals, penguins and sea turtles.
