I only spent a week with the shelter team, but I learned so much in such a short time ! Everyone was incredibly kind and took the time to answer all of my questions. I was truly impressed by their dedication and patience, their passion is inspiring ! This week gave me unforgettable memories. I had the amazing opportunity to observe many dolphin species, and most exciting of all, I saw a sperm whale for the very first time !!
