Fynbos Fire Devastation: A Florist’s Story
At the end of 2025, the veldfires devastated farms, rural communities and the beautiful Fynbos Biome.

We’re excited to share the first edition of Whales & Dolphins of the Greater Dyer Island Area, written and illustrated by Sandra Hörbst, marine biologist at Marine Dynamics.
Sandra spends her days on the water, guiding trips to see the Marine Big 5 and sharing her knowledge and passion for whales, dolphins, and the marine environment. In this debut book, she brings together years of experience in both writing and illustration.
The production of the book has been funded by Marine Dynamics, and all proceeds go towards the important marine conservation and research work of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust.
