About us
Established in 1968, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) is a registered non-profit company, operating from two centres based in Cape Town and Gqeberha, South Africa. SANCCOB rescues, rehabilitates and releases all southern African seabird species, but is particularly renowned for its conservation of the Endangered African penguin, Cape gannet, and Cape cormorant. SANCCOB collaborates with conservation authorities to work toward the protection and restoration of the natural habitat essential for seabirds to survive and the marine ecosystem to function. Throughout the years, SANCCOB has worked with government and conservation authorities to implement several management programmes and projects to conserve the African penguin and other seabird species. SANCCOB is one of the members of the Global Oiled Wildlife Response System (GOWRS) and has excellent working relationships with many response organisations.
