Once again, we made an impact!
When EnviroServ called, ZC answered. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and took action, covering the stretch from behind the Sunrise Hotel to Bluewater Bay Swimming Beach.
In just one clean-up effort, we removed 15 bags of litter, amounting to an incredible 81.1 kg of waste from our coastline.
It may seem like a small action, but its impact is enormous. Every piece of litter removed is a step towards healthier oceans.
At ZC, we donβt just talk about change, we show up, take action, and make a difference.
Small actions. Big impact. Lasting change.

Many fish species are now experiencing severely depleted populations, with some being slow-growing and taking years to reach maturity. Protecting these valuable marine resources is everyone's responsibility. Anglers are encouraged to strictly adhere to bag and size limits, and where possible, practice catch-and-release fishing to help ensure healthy fish stocks for future generations. Every responsible catch makes a difference. π£π
After a gap of a few years Fun Fishy Facts are back. We will again be sharing interesting information about our South African marine fish, conservation and Marine Protected Areas. Keep an eye out for our posts.
