Let's do something for the ocean that does so much for us.
It all began in 2015 when a volunteer group started meeting every new moon to collect marine debris on the rocky shore at Surfers Corner in Muizenberg. It is our local surf break and we wanted to do something for the ocean that does so much for us. This philosophy continues into the work we do today, and although our mission is focused on single-use plastic, the driving force and primary ambition is the health of our ocean.
Our single use plastics mission is to work with it at all points of its supply chain: remove it from the beach,
refuse it when making purchases, work with brands and companies who want to use less plastic, and encourage manufacturers to design plastic packaging with a circular economy in mind i.e. design for recyclability.
