Port Elizabeth\u2019s local marine rehabilitation centre, SAMREC<\/a>, is continuing with a great job of rehabilitating marine animals and releasing them back into Algoa Bay.<\/p>\n

Of course they do get return customers who like the Cape Receife centre so much that they return again and again for some free fish and a haircut!<\/p>\n

The latest batch of 9 Bird Island penguins were quite stoked to catch a lift with Expert Tours<\/a> all the way out to St Croix, this past weekend, before being released \u2013 cutting their journey home by nearly half.<\/p>\n

Vice President of Government Relations for Ford Motor Company<\/a>, Peter Lawson, went along for the ride and saw Algoa Bay\u2019s marine biodiversity. Pete Lawson joined Ford Motor Company<\/a> in April of 2009 as Vice President of Government Relations and oversees all of Ford\u2019s federal and state government affairs.<\/p>\n

With such solid experience I am wondering if Lawson could negotiate a better deal for our marine animals!<\/p>\n
