WESSA ABB Beach Cleanup to Mark International Coastal Clean-Up Month

By

The Algoa Bay Branch of WESSA will again be participating in a beach clean-up during International Coastal Cleanup Month, on Saturday 28 September 2024 from 09:30 to 11:30.

The Sustainable Seas Trust is the national coordinator of the events during September. International Coastal Cleanup Day brings volunteers and organisations together worldwide, during the month of September, to tackle the pressing issue of marine debris.

Some of the highlights during September are:

  • September 2024 – is Clean-up & Recycle SA month.
  • 16 – 22 September 2024 – Clean-up & Recycle SA week.
  • 18 September 2024 – River Clean-up Day.
  • 20 September 2024 – National Recycling Day.
  • 21 September 2024 – International Coastal Clean-up Day.
  • 21 September 2024 – World Clean-up Day.
  • 28 September 2024 – WESSA’s Cleanup.

The WESSA ABB effort will take place at the Beacon in Summerstrand, at the intersection of Admiralty Way and Marine Drive. For many reasons this stretch of coastline has a serious litter problem and needs regular and ongoing clean-ups. We are hoping that by concentrating on this spot, we can stop as much of this litter as possible from finding its way into the sea.

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.
