Sentinel Ocean Alliance creates ocean-based opportunities and provides environmental education for the youth of South Africa’s coastal communities.

 We aim to implement multi-faceted youth development programmes to address the challenges facing the youth of previously disadvantaged communities by supporting and creating future responsible leaders who will make meaningful contributions to society. 

We do this through our Hout bay Surf Lifesaving club, Coastal Cleanups, the Waves for Change programme, the Parley Ocean school and our Turning the Tides programme. 

We have established a safe space where the kids from our community can safely learn, play, feel inspired, and fall in love with our oceans which will, in turn, introduces them to the ocean economy.
