Oceans Research Institute investigates the biology and ecology of mega-fauna, including sharks, marine mammals, and terrestrial carnivores; we advise governmental and non-governmental bodies on relevant conservation issues. We also offer multi-disciplinary practical and theoretical training for aspiring researchers from internship to postgraduate levels in conjunction with partner schools, technical colleges, and universities.

Our Motto

Discover

We strive to divulge research discoveries to the scientific community and also to the general public, through our website, media releases, scientific and popular articles, and documentaries.

Educate

We fulfill our responsibilities towards the next generation of South Africa by educating young school pupils and students through our marine volunteer and internship programs, exposing them to species such as t6he White Shark, Cape fur seal, bottlenose, and humpback dolphins.

The white sharks are back! The flight response from white sharks following an orca predation gave us an opportunity to learn more about how two top predators interact. Now that the white sharks have returned, we are back in full swing with our white shark studies. Will the orcas come back? What impact will they have? Where do the sharks go? Are orcas the only problem white sharks are facing in South Africa? Join our research projects on white sharks, marine mammals, other sharks, and intertidal communities. Book your spot for 2023.
