Introduction
According to the United Nations SDG 14 - Saving our ocean must remain a priority. Marine biodiversity is critical to the health of people and our planet. Marine protected areas need to be effectively managed and well-resourced and regulations need to be put in place to reduce overfishing, marine pollution and ocean acidification.
Report
We have formed a new partnership to address this goal, in the Western Cape who employ a holistic and inclusive research approach, working to promote the sustainable use and informed conservation of living marine resources. In addition to our research, the academy works on skills development and training division, offering exceptional training opportunities for early career scientists and conservationists..

Introduction
This project started out in the Seychelles and being so successful has moved across Africa. It is our priority to build long term sustainable research and awareness projects that help protect the wildlife within our oceans. Our team help train, develop and inspire local African communities to join our program as a researcher or outreach work that educate their fellow peers and other community members of the issues we face in the Ocean that is right on their doorstep.
Report
We ran a shark night at the aquarium in October to raise awareness and break negative stigma attached to sharks from any one from the community. And 44 rescued turtles were returned to the ocean!
Thank you for your support

Dear Friends of the Ocean and Action Change.
We have been working on our reef project in the Seychelles for many years now and we are excited to see how the project has grown from strength to strength. Now that the project is successful and engaging many local people it is time for us to handover to the locals and focus on the next steps we urgently need to take to continue our quest to save the oceans.
So what is next....
We are so excited to announce that a new research station has been offered to us in Mozambique! What an incredible opportunity for us to expand our work in Africa and what is more the wildlife off the coast of Mozambique is amazing! With your support we are going to begin fundraising so that in 2022 we can kick off this amazingly life changing new project!
At our new station we plan to increase our research to lemon sharks, mantarays, bul sharks and maybe even turtles! We will work in the local community to build a local team of experts that will be able to run the research, report to government and national authorities on the research burt even more importantly engage with their peers and community to help tackle the growing issue of human conflict for the ocean.
We can't wait to kick off this project but first we need to start fundraising so if you can please donate or share our new and exciting project with your network so together we can change the future of our oceans
Thanks,
