The eastern coast of Mozambique is notorious for riptides and drownings. For the people who live here, the ocean is their livelihood, but also a dangerous place, and rarely is anyone taught how to swim. Pascoal is a conservationist at Love The Oceans, an ocean conservation nonprofit supporting swimming classes and marine conservation lessons in Guinjata, the local village. We follow Pascoal’s story of overcoming his fear of the sea, and how he is passing on his knowledge and advice to future generations.

Today, as well as teaching sea safety and swimming, Pascoal is leading another initiative at Love The Oceans—kayak-powered sustainable fishing—supported by our incredible monthly giving community: The Tide.
Explore the articles below to learn more about how Pascoal is delivering this program to transform the lives of fisherman and their families in his community and to protect the vital marine ecosystems they depend on.
