This surge in hatchlings, three times the expected annual number, was a result of the recent storm that struck the Western Cape, washing these tiny creatures ashore.Each hatchling requires meticulous care, costing around R10 000 over six to eight months, including special diets, medical attention and constant monitoring of water quality and temperature.
