We are expanding our outreach and education initiatives in 2025. We are getting an early start. We’ve just partnered with the DEEP Blue Ambassador program in Gansbaai, South Africa.
DEEP works with dedicated groups of school students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Unemployment is high, social ills are on their doorstep, and hope for a successful future is often lacking.
DEEP’s impactful three-year program introduces these young learners to science and conservation. The program focuses on:
- The Marine Big 5 (including critically endangered African penguins) and other local wildlife
- Wetlands
- Marine pollution
- Photography
- Presentation skills
- Biodiversity
- Healthy living and food gardening
- Leadership
We believe this partnership will ignite hope and inspire a brighter future for these students.
