Join WESSA for International Coastal Clean-Up Day on Saturday 16 September 2023

By

The Algoa Bay Branch of WESSA will again be participating in the International Coastal Clean-Up Day on Saturday 16 September 2023. We will be cleaning the beach area at the Admiralty Way/Marine Drive Beacon from 09:30 to 11:30 come rain or shine. You may recall that last year our coordinated ICC efforts managed to cover every main beach in our metro and involved over two hundred citizens. We’re keen to improve on that sterling effort and need your help to do so.

Sustainable Seas Trust (SST) is the national coordinator of this event this year. They have made it very easy for all of us to find details of our spot and others on their interactive map, see https://sstafrica.org.za/my_map/CleanSpot.html. Simply click on the blue turtle to know the time and place of the clean-up and the contact details of the coordinator.

The ICC day forms part of a national cleanup week, and some of the highlights of that week include the National River Clean-up Day (13 September), National Recycling Day SA (15 September), and then the International Coastal Clean-up Day and World Clean-up Day (16 September).

There is ample parking at the Beacon and as usual please bring hats, sunscreen, water and gloves if possible. We will provide litter bags. Look out for the WESSA banners.

Come along this ICC Day and join in making the difference we can. We look forward to seeing you there.
