We are honoured to be the first specialist Marine Hub for the African Leadership University and regularly host students from ALU for 10-week inset programs.

We hope to foster a sense of hope for the future of our environment through seeing what is possible and the impact of our work.

‘During my 10 weeks at Oceans Alive, I worked with a passionate group of people working to empower the community around them. It has been one of the most impactful experiences of my life. I worked hands-on with nature, came to appreciate new cultures, and learn from the journeys of some amazing people I met and worked with. I am eager to take all I learned about marine conservation back to Puerto Rico and create a program as impactful as Oceans Alive’. Tatiana, Puerto Rico, intern

‘I hadn't fully appreciated the importance of marine conservation until I came to Oceans Alive, Kuruwitu. Through the work with the community, I have seen how they depend on the sea for their livelihoods. This was a game-changer for my thinking and has opened my eyes to the importance of conservation - not just as an idea but for the impact on real people. As a result, I am now developing ways to use technology to support conservation in Africa’.
