Another awesome night of mystery and wonder with Aonyx Marine Experiences this full moon, as some of our ambassadors-in-the-making ventured out with torches and an awesome team of marine biologists to learn more about the incredible creatures that inhabit our rocky shores. Thank you to Ocean Family Foundation🪸 Dawn Patrol Wines and Mission Blue for supporting our work in the

In our latest educational session, the youth were addressed by some of the great masters in cinematographic story telling on the use of cinematography in telling potent and impactful conservation stories. The students were in awe of the heroic stories of diving into crocodiles’ lairs, swimming with sharks, whales and dolphins, and working in the face of massive waves. They were also inspired by the persistence it takes to follow your dreams and the importance of putting yourself ‘out there’, making connections and staying on your path. Personally, I was intrigued by the similarities in body language required on a public stage versus when dealing with characters like crocodiles and sharks; insights which will certainly be taken into our future course.
We would like to thank Roger Horrocks and for sharing their personal stories of victories and marvels as well as their hardships and endurance, and to Athos Euripidou for hosting us at his incredible venue The Athletic Club & Social

For the 9th year running, partnered with LaMuse Classic , a for-women, -by-women’s longboard surfing event to raise environmental awareness among the youth and ensure that the event remains single-use plastic-free.
This time, we also partnered with an awesome organisation called justasmallpiece , who provided us with upcycled bags, encouraging the surfers to collect as many pieces as possible of plastic over course of the weekend. The plastic items were then sorted and counted with staggering results: Collectively, we picked over 2200 pieces of plastic, of which food wrappers, cigarette butts, and microplastics were the overwhelming majority.
The ocean is our healer, our playground, and our muse. Every little item we remove from these shores has the potential to save lives and keep our beloved beaches clean. If every single person were to remove every time they visit the beach, the collective efforts would be outstanding – and you might just catch the wave of the day for your good karma 😉 Mission Blue Ocean Family Foundation🪸 Dawn Patrol Wines

To celebrate , the had an incredible opportunity to present to a school of approximately 500 learners.
Through an engaging presentation, learners discovered what MPA’s are, why they are important and how young people can work together to protect our oceans.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Together, we are building a generation of ocean guardians!

We are so excited to begin a next round of our Ambassadors course at Simonstown STS Lawhill Maritime . This was the first of 9 speaking sessions where the youth learn the skills and confidence to become the voice for the creatures of the ocean that don’t have one. Coupled with this course is exposure to thought leaders in marine conservation- hearing from scientists, NGO’s and organisations on the ground tackling climate-related issues. And of course, to build passion, we offer various adventure-based learning opportunities whereby the youth get to immerse themselves in the great African sea forest and see with their own eyes what’s worth protecting 🙌🏽 Thanks to Ocean Family Foundation🪸 , Dawn Patrol Wines and Mission Blue for enabling this initiative

🌊 Paddles up, minds open! Ahead of activities on 1 August, Ocean Pledge gave our a training day like no other.
We started with adventure-based learning: kayaking straight into a Marine Protected Area with Kayak Cape Town and Cape RADD . Every glance revealed another layer of biodiversity, a reminder of just how much biodiversity and life these False Bay waters are quietly protecting.
Back on dry land, we dove into the classroom side of things with Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation, covering:
🐠 What MPAs actually are
🌍 Why they matter more than ever
⚠️ The challenges they’re up against
🤝 How each of us can help protect them
Guardians of the Deep NPC also stopped by to share some exciting MPA Day activities we can get involved in.
One fun, fully immersive day of learning, and we’re already counting down to the global MPA Day celebrations next week.
