Welcome to S.A.M.I

The International School of Education (ISOE) Foundation established the South African Marine Institute (S.A.M.I.). S.A.M.I. is a newly established marine institute that will strive to be an internationally recognized institute that will focus on multi-disciplinary marine research, education and training. Although a private institute, S.A.M.I. is a new venture that in collaboration with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) will seek to address various shortcomings in the marine sector in South Africa and many new marine related projects are expected in the future.
