  • Nature Knows No Waste Due to the Substantial and Increasing Impact Of
    The Sea Harbinger of eternity, Time’s time-keeper, She is, in all her vast diversity, The reflection of man’s soul. (ANON) VOL 8VOL • NR 5 11 • NR • October 6 • May (2015hoo) ≠ gais 2018 Marine Week : Nature knows no waste www.sanparks.orgwww.sanparks.org Nature Knows No Waste Due to the substantial and increasing impact of pollution in South Africa, particularly plastic pollution that affects all terrestrial, coastal and oceanic ecosystems, the very appropriate theme for the National Marine Week 2018 campaign is Nature Knows No Waste. The aim is to educate and encourage the general public, particularly the youth, in curbing the problem of pollution. Communication will emphasise countering pollution at the individual level and at the source. Most pollution originates on land before it gets transported to the coastal areas and the oceans through river systems. (Dept of Environmental Affairs) Our oceans are choking on plastic The trash in ocean and waterway ranks as one of the most serious pollution problems choking our planet. Far more than an eyesore, a rising tide of marine debris threatens human health, wildlife, communities and economies around the world. The ocean faces many challenges, but trash should not be one of them. National Marine Week is a campaign that aims to educate all South Africans about the role oceans play in our daily lives, including recreation and employment. It is celebrated every year during the second week of October. It aims to create awareness on the marine and coastal environment and the promotion of sustainable use and conservation of these resources for all - and both present and future generations.
