Each year, approximately 8000 participants take part in our programs.Our team consists of experienced marine science professionals that have been working in the field of environmental science for many years. We have strong collaborations with local government departments, local businesses (such as Palm Beach Surf Club and Oz Dive) and tertiary education institutions.
