Some more snippets of our heritage day celebration :)

At the SOSF SEC, we pride ourselves on celebrating diversity! 💙🌍

Every year, for Heritage Day, we come together to celebrate the incredible diversity within our team and learn more about one another’s cultures, traditions and histories. Team members have the opportunity to share what their heritage means to them through talks, games, dances and, of course, delicious food!

It’s a chance to learn, share stories, celebrate what makes us unique and appreciate what brings us together. It’s always a day we look forward to, and as you can see, it’s a whole lot of fun ;)

Have you ever wondered which shark is the fastest in the world?

From slow cruisers to powerful swimmers, sharks display an incredible range of swimming speeds.

But among all these incredible sharks, one species holds the title for the fastest shark in the ocean based on their measured cruising speed. Can you guess which one it is?

Our last session with this group of Marine Explorers!

We are so proud of these learners, who went from never having snorkelled before to overcoming their fears, building confidence in the water and conquering duck diving!

It has been incredible to watch their progress throughout the programme, as they stepped outside their comfort zones, supported one another and discovered more about the ocean and the life beneath the surface. Every small step took courage, and seeing how far they have come makes us so proud.

We hope this is just the beginning of their ocean adventures! 💙

After four years of hard work, dedication, and passion from an incredible group of people, the Gen Sea graphic novel is finally here and available for FREE on our website under our resources tab.

A few months ago, SEC Director Clova Mabin soft-launched the novel at Sharks International 2026 through a poster presentation highlighting what the project is about and why it matters.

The response we received was overwhelmingly positive, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to share this exciting project with an international audience of researchers, conservationists, ocean advocates and educators.

Gen Sea is a graphic novel for both young people and adults that raises awareness about the threats facing South Africa’s marine environment and the communities that depend on it. The story explores complex and often interconnected issues such as poaching, overfishing and pollution, highlighting their impacts on marine ecosystems and local livelihoods.

We highly recommend giving it a read and sharing it with your network! You won’t regret it…

Let us know what you think ! 🧡

Our Marine Explorers heading out to discover the underwater world at False Bay Yacht Club!

With strong winds during this week’s session, we chose the Yacht Club as it offers a more sheltered spot and calmer conditions for our learners to enjoy their snorkelling experience.

After receiving feedback from our learners about experiencing leg cramps in the water, we also decided to kick things off with a quick warm-up before heading in. 💪 It’s all about listening to our learners, learning from each session and finding ways to make their time in the water as comfortable, safe and enjoyable as possible! 💙
