Minorities In Shark Science

In 2022 Love The Oceans and MISS are teaming up to create a scholarship program for 2 MISS members to come to Mozambique and participate in our expeditions!

Fintastic

We are an unincorporated association based in the UK, raising both money and awareness for the issue that is shark finning. We were founded on the 24th November 2018, and we have been fundraising ever since. All our profits will be sent to Love the Oceans, a non-profit organisation based in Guinjata Bay, Mozambique, of which we are a supporting partner.

EverCare

EveryCare is partnering with Love The Oceans and University of Leeds to run a coral reef research project. They'll also be funding training of our Ocean Conservation Champions as scuba divers to help with this research.

Campfire Academy

Campfire Academy is a Eco Safari Lodge in South Africa which LTO partners with as an optional extra for our volunteers after their time with us in Mozambique. We're partnered with Campfire for their incredible ethics and sustainable initiatives.

PADI

PADI kindly sponsors us the qualifications for our Ocean Conservation Champions, Eduardo Mondlane Students and our MISS fellows on an annual basis. Their support means we can work to get more Mozambicans in the water and diversify the diving industry.

EQUIPMENT SPONSORS

Red Paddle Co

Red Paddle Co sponsors all our Stand Up Paddleboards which we use to help research our whale population and as free-diving platforms. Red have been extremely supportive of our work and we really appreciate the boards they have sponsored!

Fourth Element

Fourth Element have sponsored our team wetsuits, fins, mask, rashies, skinsuits and booties. Through their equipment sponsorship they're supporting our work to qualify more Mozambicans as divers and ocean champions of the future.

DJI

DJI have sponsored us three drones for our whale and turtle surveys. These drones make beach surveys for nesting turtles much easier and more efficient allowing us to protect more nests. For whale surveys we can now positively identify pod dynamics and get more accurate information on our whales.

Bird Eyewear

Bird have sponsored our team with responsible, recycled, marine-resistant sunglasses for our boat work. Good eyewear is really important with the high levels of UV rays we regularly have in our eyes reflected off the water.

Osprey Europe

Osprey has supplied our team with multiple backpacks to ensure we're well equipped to complete our field work. We love Osprey's responsible and practical ethos!

One Green Bottle

One Green Bottle has sponsored our team amazing insulated bottles which means we can stay hydrated throughout our work! The insulated bottles means cold water stays cold which is just what's needed in our climate!

Catalina Lodge

Catalina Lodge is a lodge local to us in Mozambique. Catalina is one of our main sponsors for the work we do at the local schools. Their consistent sponsorship has enabled us to continue our work at both Guinjata and Paindane School. They also offer luxury accommodation.

Buehler

Buehler sponsored LTO by donating a Buehler Isomet Low Speed Saw and shipping it to South Africa for us! They continue to supply us with products enabling us to process samples while in Mozambique.
