- “Explore the Shore” is the name of the series created by Matthew Griffiths and his father, UCT Professor Emeritus Charles Griffiths.
A local father and son duo create educational marine life videos on their “Explore The Shore” YouTube channel.

The duo take viewers on a journey of discovery through their short videos lasting between three and 10 minutes.

Matthew films his dad sharing his knowledge of sea life, from starfish to limpets.
According to a statement released by UCT, the duo plans to release a new episode every other Thursday and have a slate of 50 different subjects to film.
“The resource is free to anyone who subscribes. This includes biology teachers at all levels. It is a useful resource in marine biology, especially for schools away from the coast,” says Professor Griffiths.
