Cape RADD’s Snorkel for Science trips have been a big hit, with the number of participants and trips increasing by the year. As we explore the Great African Sea Forest, all participants have contributed to our data collection of sharks as well as funding conservation efforts. These important actions increase scientific knowledge and can lead to legislative changes.
So what is stopping you from joining us on this experience?
Some people have no snorkelling experience and may struggle with swimming. But do not worry, we have safety measures in place to ensure your safety and comfortability.
Join Other Activities
According to the NSRI only 15% of South Africans can swim. With this statistic in mind, we want to involve others in this experience or a similar land-based experience. For large groups such as school groups, you can contribute to our research by joining an exploration of rocky shore ecology, coastal walks, beach clean-ups and more. To find out more, please email info@caperadd.com.
These activities contribute to our data collection. By involving the youth in science, we create the scientists of tomorrow.
Sometimes people are afraid of the wildlife, especially sharks. Therefore, it is important for us to tackle these fears so we can protect and conserve the ocean. To involve those who cannot swim and are afraid of the ocean, they can explore one of our most visited spots online. You can freely access the link at explore.caperadd.com. This website shows the diversity of the Great African Sea Forest, along with some facts of the life found here.
This interactive website explores some of the frequently seen animals and visitors of the Great African Sea Forest. It depicts three ecosystems found off of our coastline. These include kelp forests, rocky reefs, and sandy bottoms. All images used are from Cape RADD’s citizen science initiatives.
Hopefully, exploring the Great African Sea Forest online will inspire you to join us on a trip or even pursue the vast field of marine science.
This experience is highly recommended, just see our reviews. So come on and join this experience!
