GEORGE NEWS - Wessa Eden plans to do a beach clean-up of Kaaimans Beach at 09:00 on Saturday 16 September. 

The project goes under the slogan Harnessing the Power of People to Fight Ocean Trash and forms part of the International Coastal Cleanup in September.

Plastic has been found in 62% of sea birds and in 100% of sea turtle species. A problem as big as plastic in the ocean requires a big response. 

By participating in the International Coastal Cleanup, you can make a difference. 

You'll join millions of volunteers just like you, who love the ocean and want to protect it.

Nearly 12 million people have been part of the world's biggest volunteer effort to protect the ocean. Will you join the Wildlife Environmental Society of SA (Wessa) this year at Kaaimans Beach?

For more information, contact Janet on 072 3315057 or art@janetbotes.co.za. The clean-up is supported by Ocean Conservancy and PlasticsSA (oceanconservancy.org / www.plasticsinfo.co.za).
