Our women's empowerment project hit the headlines yesterday. It gives local, young women an opportunity to learn marine related job skills. Well done to our Sea the Change team. Such an amazing effort to give back to our communities. And thank you to @isuzusa for sponsoring such an important project. #oceansresearchfoundation #seathechange

A typical afternoon in our bay. Seeing these large (and sometimes super) pods of bottlenose dolphins cruising close to shore around sundown, is a common sight. #oceansresearch #bottlenosedolphins #mosselbay 🎥 @shark_buff

Oceans Research Foundation, in collaboration with @isuzusa, are currently busy with a marine woman empowerment project. It aims to provide employability skills and leadership development to 60 ladies in Mossel Bay. On Saturday, we carried out our Marine Mammal Stranding Course. We also invited Ilma Smocilac, a retired swimming coach from Franky Frogs, to teach the basic principals of swimming, as many of these women have never learned to swim. After only an hour, the majority were able to float, and a few managed to do strokes in the water. As you can see in the video, they were absolutely terrified to even be in the water when training began, but we practically had to drag them out of the water after training! We were so thrilled to be able to "Sea The Change" in a such a short space of time and very confident that we are well on our way to creating strong marine ambassadors.
