On the last day of 2025, one number truly mattered: 35,003.
Since June 29, 2023, 35,003 visitors have stepped into our 40-minute Bamboo Shark Nursery workshop , discovering firsthand why sharks matter and how ocean conservation begins with knowledge, curiosity, and connection.
That single number represents more than 23,300 hours of direct, face-to-face environmental education; real people. real conversations. real impact.
On average, 14,000 people every year leave our nursery with a new understanding of sharks and the ocean.
But education is only one part of the story.
Through its ReSharking the Reefs program, Oceans For All Foundation is actively restoring shallow reef ecosystems around Thailand by releasing close to 200 juvenile bamboo sharks back into their natural habitat, in this way, turning learning into measurable, on-the-water impact.
And the ripple continues.
Each visitor shares what they’ve learned with at least two others, meaning our message has likely reached over 100,000 people through conversations at home, sparks of curiosity, and stories carried far beyond the reef.
From a single visit grows a ripple of awareness , spreading across families, communities, and generations.
This is how change begins.
One shark. One story. One person at a time.
And none of this would be possible without an exceptional partner.
Our heartfelt thanks go to JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa for believing in this vision from day one, for placing conservation at the heart of the guest experience, and for proving that luxury hospitality and meaningful environmental action can - and should - go hand in hand.
By opening its doors to education, curiosity, and purpose, the resort has helped turn a nursery into a platform for lasting change, one visitor at a time.
stay tuned
