Penguin sightings

Report finding a dead penguin

The Trust keeps a mortality database in which deaths of little blue penguins are recorded: the date they were found, how many, where they were found, who found them, if they are juveniles or adults, their weight, cause of death and comments.

It is helpful to know why little blue penguins are dying. Email us at info@goldenbaypenguins.org.nz or send a message using Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goldenbaypenguins/

If you see a sick or injured penguin, please phone the DOC hotline on 0800 362 468.

We encourage people to report live penguin sightings, tracks etc. to: https://inaturalist.nz/projects/little-blue-penguin-monitoring
