Maggie Nixon, 16 from Washington DC recently completed a youth internship with SST visiting all the SA Hope Spots and stopping of with partner organisations. Maggie feels it is time to reach a new demographic – the youth – and is actively working towards promoting awareness about marine conservation in America and hopes to facilitate interactions between US and South African youth around the theme of Hope Spots. Maggie, who is documenting her visit through blogs and films, also joined a recent SST-Rotary Interact rocky shore expedition in Kenton-on-Sea.
