Protecting Lives
in the Ocean.
A not-for-profit community organisation dedicated to ocean safety through
education, technology, first aid training and shark mitigation.
Born from
Tragedy.
Driven by Purpose.
Founded in 2017 by local waterman Mitch Capelli following the tragic death of teenager Laeticia Brouwer, Esperance Ocean Safety & Support is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to protecting ocean users from Great White Sharks through education, training, experience, technology and research.
