Inhambane Province, Mozambique is lined with some of the richest and most productive waters in the Indian Ocean and over 125,000 international tourists per year are drawn to this area to encounter its unique marine megafauna, such as whale sharks and manta rays.
In this area alone,an estimated 45%(130,000) of local jobs require people to work in, on or around the water yet the majority of the population cannot swim. Each year there are thousands of drowning fatalities along Mozambique’s coastline as people risk their lives on a daily basis to provide for their families.
Our hope is for local people to be more confident around water, to inspire a greater love and understanding of the ocean and to encourage them to benefit from the burgeoning ecoXtourism industry in the province.
