KZN Beach Cleanup

We aim not only to remove litter from the beaches and waterways each month, but also to educate people about pollution and the importance of the ocean.

@eNCA @ShahanR @eNCA it takes 384 litres of water to produce almond milk, it takes 1016 litres of water to produce cows milk. Please ask @MarcelleGordon to correct herself.

@eThekwiniM This is a great initiative. It would be awesome to see and meet some of these youths at our next cleanup event on 20th July.

Yesterday SASSI joined an #Ocean #heritage celebration at the Two Oceans Aquarium which included the launch of a new #MPA (Marine Protected Area) exhibit! Dr Kerry Sink and other researchers were present sharing their insights on #biodiversity of coastal areas. #MzanSEA

WCRL has declined dramatically over the last 50 yrs due to overfishing to only ~1.9% of its original, pre-fished stock size. At such low levels, the risk of WCRL becoming commercially extinct is extremely high with dire socio-economic and ecological knock-on effects.

Does #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek count as self-care? We asked this otter:

.@BeyondMeat's plant-based Beyond Burger uses 99% less water, 93% less land, nearly 50% less energy & generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than what it takes to produce one 1/4 lb. U.S. beef burger. Proud to be an investor in the #futureofprotein. https://t.co/zpO0N6mpPe

10,000 people congregated today because of our love of one thing - our wildlife. It was inspiring, it was moving and it was momentous. Thank you so much everyone.

The ocean is our life support system. No blue, no green. It's really a miracle that we have got a place that works in our favor. And if you think the ocean isn't important, imagine Earth without it.

[Sylvia A. Earle @SylviaEarle]

We need to convey a sense of urgency because the world is changing. The next ten years is likely to be the most important time in the next 10,000 years. We have options that we are going to lose within ten years unless we take action now.

@MelvanGovender Our clean ups are on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for the next event- we would love you to join!

Thanks to all 230 volunteers who helped remove 1200 kg of litter from Virginia Beach today!

Only 0.4% of the oceans around South Africa are protected in Marine Protected Areas. Members of the Youth for MPA's and others gathered in Durban earlier this week in an attempt to make their voices heard. @WILDOCEANSSA @oceanunite @CentreEnvRights @WWFSouthAfrica @WWFSASSI

[Ocean iMPAct @OceaniMPActSA]

Did you know South Africa currently has a network of 23 coastal Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) covering only 0.4 % of the oceans around South Africa? Help us get it to 5% by the end of 2018 and 10% by 2020. https://t.co/JXFy7pAvEQ @WILDOCEANSSA @saambr @oceanunite @WWFSASSI
