Join an expedition
Work alongside the team in Mozambique.
Research expeditions, citizen science and thesis fieldwork on the Indian Ocean coast — from 10 days to a full field season.
Why join us
A working expedition, not a holiday.
Real marine science
You’ll collect data on coral reefs, whales, whale sharks and fisheries that feeds into long-running Mozambique research — not busywork. Training in week one, real fieldwork for the rest.
Community-led conservation
Afternoons are spent teaching ocean literacy in Jangamo schools and running swimming lessons. Every expedition directly funds local salaries, school programmes and our Marine Protected Area work.
Open to beginners
No science degree. No diving cert needed for most programmes. Small cohorts (often eight or fewer), proper onboarding and a team that genuinely likes answering questions.
