“Where knowledge about the oceans shapes the future.”

The OCEAN HUB in Cape Town, South Africa, prepares young people in the transition between school and the working world for careers in environmental and marine conservation – equipping them with practical skills and entrepreneurial knowledge.
Organised by the non-profit association Mon Coeur, it offers hands-on training in maritime skills such as swimming, diving, and marine ecology, as well as professional development in business management and ecotourism.
The programme serves as a learning pathway that fosters environmental awareness and opens up career opportunities in conservation and tourism for young people from disadvantaged communities, including townships.

Ocean experts. Leaders of the future.
The Ocean Hub is an extension of Mon Coeur’s Inspiration Hub, through which 30 children completed their training as Ocean Ambassadors in 2025.
The Ocean Hub opens up career pathways – from future eco-guides and marine educators to surf instructors – and has received substantial funding from GOT BAG for its activities.
