The lighthouse at Moeraki Point has become a beacon of survival for many yellow-eyed penguins. Janice (pictured) and Bob Jones are honorary rangers who have been rescuing sick and starving penguins and nursing them back to health in a swimming pool donated by Forest and Bird. Starvation may be caused partly by the El Nino weather phenomenon, which has affected the oceanic food chain. Because squid is a favoured food for juveniles, questions are also being asked about whether foreign fleets are depriving the bird of this vital fish.
