OUR MISSION | To implement high impact environmental and conservation projects which promote public May 2019 participation in caring for the Earth. Dear Friends of the Environment, thanks to all those wonderful people to who attended the AGM! Mark Dixon speaking on the upcoming Strandloper Project was obviously a great drawcard and the attendees came from as far as Knysna, Sedgefield and Great Brak on a wet, chilly evening. Thanks to Wilmari Nel - the latest addition to our Committee volunteers – who enhanced the display of our veritable feast of a Cheese and Wine where over 40 participants enjoyed lively discussions after the meeting. Just so you can see what you missed.... And to read up on what the Strandloper Project is all about go to …. http://gardenroutetrail.co.za/strandloper.html for the complete article (Extract below) This coastline, like the rest of the South African coastline is heavily fished by both recreational and subsistence fishers for shore based surf fishing. As a consequence a substantial amount of fishing tackle is lost due to snagging on rocks posing a risk of ghost fishing from the baited hooks. Coastal Hike. In an effort to measure the amount of snagged fishing tackle and to raise awareness of the threat of ghost fishing as a result of recreational fishing, a group of locals will be embarking on a 10 day hike between Witsand and Wilderness. Tackle and trash survey. The primary purpose of the hike will be to conduct surveys both in the water and along the beach to quantify both snagged fishing tackle and washed up plastic trash along the coastline. Plastic Trash. A second aspect of the 10 day hike will be to document location and types of plastic trash found along the walk. We will be mapping the plastic using Cybertracker and will then be able to generate distribution maps according to the category of trash.
