Our festival features talented South African creative and scientific minds, who use the ocean as their muse to advocate change. This group of inter-connected minds include marine biologists, conservation influencers, artists, tourist boat operators, surfers, divers, fishers, photographers, authors, filmmakers and activists.

As our Festival Director Shani Judes says: “Each year, our festival showcases amazing people, their acts of kindness, talent and genuine love for the ocean. Pollution and global warming affects us all but we can all help effect that change.”
