Coastal Cleanup Day

Come on, Capetonians, let’s clean up our act! In support of International Coastal Cleanup Day, Aquarium staff and volunteers will be cleaning up Zandvlei Estuary and Muizenberg Beach on Tuesday, 28 September. Come and join us!

The International Coastal Cleanup project was initiated in 1986 and over 90 countries have volunteered to clean the beaches and coastlines within their surroundings. The mission of the cleanup is: to remove debris from the shorelines, waterways and beaches of the world’s lakes, rivers and oceans; to collect valuable information on the amount and type of debris; to educate people on the issue of marine debris; and to use the information collected to effect positive change.

The Two Oceans Aquarium appeals to everyone to reduce, recycle and re-use. Most containers, bottles, and bags can be recycled and doing so will minimise the amount of litter found along beaches and in rivers, lakes and lagoons.

Capetonians, help keep your beaches beautiful and be proud of your natural heritage!
