About Marine Dynamics Academy

We utilise ecotourism to further marine research and conservation goals. Our goal is to offer those with a passion for the marine environment a chance to developing skills and experiences which they can use to enhance their own careers and life goals. Based Gansbaai, South Africa, the Marine Dynamics Academy forms part of the award winning Marine Dynamics group.

Our every activity is driven by our motto:

Discover and understand this globally important ecosystem through world-class scientific research. Protect the long-term future of the species which live here by translating this knowledge into evidence-based conservation initiatives and legislation. Educate our partners; local communities, legislators and visitors by informing and actively involving them in achieving our goals for the benefit of all.

We consciously and actively: operate responsibly with due care for the marine and terrestrial environment; conduct ethical scientific research which contributes to the conservation of species; create conservation awareness amongst locals and visitors; contribute positively to the community and the economy in which we operate; offer fair wages and good working conditions for our employees; contribute positively to the protection of cultural heritage.
