Protect Sharks from Becoming Extinct

Hello,

We are thrilled to share an update on the impactful project you generously supported. Your contributions are making a tangible difference in safeguarding our oceans and marine wildlife across Africa.

This project began in the Seychelles and has since expanded across Africa. Our primary focus is on creating sustainable, long-term research and awareness initiatives to protect ocean ecosystems.

Our team collaborates with local African communities, training and inspiring them to actively participate in marine conservation. We encourage individuals to become researchers or engage in outreach work, educating their peers and community members about critical ocean issues. We currently have run out of funding so our priority for the foreseeable future is fundraising for this project but we will remain to keep promoting our work across South Africa, Mozambique and Seychelles

Locals fully engage in marine conservation efforts, finding employment and contributing to monitoring programs. Qualified SCUBA divers equipped with underwater survey skills can collaborate with local bodies. Our initiative fosters awareness of pollution issues within communities. By empowering locals, we create a ripple effect of positive change.

Thank you for being part of this transformative journey. Together, we protect our oceans—one community at a time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lloyd

Hey Ocean Ambassadors!

Thanks for being a part of our super cool project! We really care about the ocean and all the awesome animals that live there. But, unfortunately, big predators like sharks, tuna, and cod have been overfished so much in the last 40 years that the ocean is all messed up. And did you know that by 2050, there might be more plastic in the ocean than fish? That's crazy! We don't want sharks to disappear forever, do we?

We've been talking about this problem for a long time, and governments have been having meetings about it, but it's time for us to do something about it. Our project has always been about doing research and using that research to help save sharks and raise awareness. We'll keep doing that because it's really important. But in 2024, we're going to try something new. We want to reach out to more people and talk to them about how they can help sharks and the ocean. We want to encourage people to use less plastic, avoid products made from sharks, and choose seafood that's good for the ocean.

We have projects all over the world near the ocean, so we want to use our connections to spread the word about saving sharks. This year, we're going to keep doing research, but we also want to raise money so we can send shark ambassadors to different communities, influencers, and educators. We want to make sure everyone knows how important it is to protect sharks and the ocean.

We need your help to make a difference! Thank you for all the support you've given us in the past, and we hope you'll keep helping us raise money and talk about these important issues. Let's save the sharks together!

Thank You,

Tyrone
