Justice 4 Jaws

Yesterday, we enjoyed an informative and fruitful first day at the Science Forum South Africa, in partnership with the WILDTRUST OFFICIAL, The Shark Research Unit and Youth for Marine Protected Areas (Youth4MPAs). This gathering of scientists and innovators from across the world is the perfect context to see how research and industry meet, and provides a great platform for new and meaningful collaborations. We are proud to be representing sharks, rays and our oceans at this prestigious conference ???? See you there today for day 2!

Last week, we had the privilege of attending the Plett Oceans Festival, Welcoming of the Whales Festival and Angling Expo Africa! Filled with educational games, discussions and demonstrations, these kinds of events are where we as Justice 4 Jaws seek to leave our mark. Big thanks to our passionate volunteers who make it all possible. Without you, we could never reach the hearts and minds of the South African youth. ??

We at Justice 4 Jaws are excited and honoured for the opportunity to attend the Plett Oceans Festival, Welcoming of the Whales Festival and the Angling Expo Africa. Besides spreading awareness and educating the public on shark and marine conservation, we are also looking for enthusiastic young volunteers to join the team and help make a meaningful impact in the sphere of marine conservation. Come and meet the team in Plett and Durban between 27 and 30 June! We won't bite ??
