We spent 3 weeks with Projects Abroad in Cambodia and while they have had a marine conservation project in the region for a number of years, the current operation on Koh Sdach has only been running for a year. It takes a while for any such organisation to find its feet in a culture that […]
So, this is it. We made it to the finish line and our World Tour for Sharks is officially over.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to share our Friends for Sharks work and help the volunteers and islanders […]
