Lost Stranger
On Friday 9th January 2009 a large grey creature was seen wallowing in the water around the boat yard well inside the bay of Fethiye.
Fethiye’s resident marine biologist Meryem Tekin donned her wet suit and boots to examine the new arrival.
The large, grey creature was wallowing in the shallows, underneath the hulks of yachts and gulets and surrounded by the paraphernalia expected in an industrial area. Not the most accessible place to do a full examination and to instigate a rescue.
The local Zabita or Municipal Policing Authority had said it was a dolphin and the crowds of people assembled to watch the event thought the same but Tekin knew better. Read the rest of this entry »

Dolphin Therapy 2009 Nico Herrmann
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Media Reports,Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Dolphin Therapy 2009 Nico Herrmann
We managed to fly with Nico to the dolphins again this year!
Naturally there was no question of ‘where’, we flew to Kemer in turkey. Nico was already excited at the airport, he knew where we were going. We are always very pleased to see you again. This time too Barbara was Nico’s therapist and Daisy was Nico’s dolphin. That eased Nico’s settling-in a lot.
Nico had had a few set backs through hip surgery so it was good for him to have a therapist that knew him. He was able to engage himself quickly with many things and they worked well together. Read the rest of this entry »
Himaduna family
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Media Reports,Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/We are the Himaduna family and we were with our little Meridian in Kemer! Meridian is autistic and we were most anxious about whether he would accept the company of dolphins!
The first few days were a little difficult because everything was new for him. Later he was pulling us to the dolphins and everything else was just as super as the dolphin therapy! eg. the Hippo therapy. Not only did he have a lot of fun but also the whole family! Read the rest of this entry »
Maxi, Niklas, Anne and Pit
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Therapy TestimonialsNo Comments »/Hello Barbara,
here is the mail as promised. We arrived home safely.
When we said farewell, you asked how we liked the therapy. I answered ‘good’.
I really must correct that: ‘very good’ is the right answer. Maxi must have had a large portion of luck that everything worked out so well with Daisy.
So I would like to thank you and the whole team once more. Read the rest of this entry »

Whale rescue in Fethiye
Posted by Dolphin Therapy Team in Sea Mammals Rescue TeamNo Comments »/A commendably brave act of international cooperation in Fethiye, instigated and organised by marine biologist Meryem Tekin, has saved one of the rarest species of whale ever sighted on the Turkish coast. The adult female Sowerby’s Beaked Whale measured just less than 5 metres and weighed approximately one tonne. ‘There have been erroneous reports describing it as a dolphin but when its size and features are understood there is no question of what it is.’ Says Tekin.
