🌊 Protecting Our Oceans Starts with Us! 🌊 This September, we’re launching #TheOceanStartsHere Month to empower communities to take action. From exciting activities and competitions to educational sessions, we’re mobilizing collective efforts to keep our rivers—and ultimately, our oceans—clean 🌍. 💡 Recent research from the University of Cape Town has revealed that much of the plastic litter from the Cape Flats River washes ashore near river mouths, impacting marine life and ecosystems we're all connected to. 🏘 Keeping our communities clean isn’t just vital for our livelihood—it’s crucial for the health of our oceans. 🤝 Want to make a real difference? Partner with us to create a ripple effect of change. Let’s collaborate to protect our planet, starting with the rivers in our own backyards. 😁 Read more about #TheOceanStartsHere campaign here: https://lnkd.in/dmbMwjak #Sustainability #EnvironmentalAction #Collaboration #MarineConservation #environmentaleducation #educationforsustainabledevelopment #CaptainFanplastic #TheOceanStartsHere
