Celebrating World Oceans Day today 8 June: ‘The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods’

 

World Oceans Day today (8 June) has a special significance for me, given my dedication to cleaning up litter in Camps Bay, and in organising a monthly Camps Bay Community Clean up. My goal is to prevent as much of the litter on the pavements, lawns, and walkways at the Camps Bay Beachfront from flying into the Atlantic Ocean.

Artist and sculptor Francois Knoetze’s   ‘This is Plastiglomerate’ is a well-timed artwork which has recently been erected on Camps Bay Beach to draw attention to the danger of plastics to our environment, World Environment Day having been celebrated last week.

The Labia Cinema celebrates World Oceans Day with a screening of ‘My Octopus Teacher’ today.

World Oceans Day is celebrated in South Africa too, and forms part of June being Environment Month.
