CAMPAIGNS
There are numerous ocean campaigns each year in South Africa and elsewhere. The Ocean Advocate is partnering with some and highlighting others. These campaigns involve heartfelt efforts to protect the ocean and, by spotlighting some of them, the hope is that they'll garner more support and that people who are keen to be involved in ocean conservation will find projects that resonate with them. If you have a campaign that's noteworthy, please send an email.
CHECK OUT MPA DAY
|
Save the date - 1 August, 2026, because marine protected areas couldn't be more important when it comes to our ocean. Research is increasingly showing their efficacy and, if we're to try to protect 30% of the sea by 2030, we need many more tracts of our ocean safeguarded for the benefit of marine life and people.
MPA Day started in South Africa in 2021 and has now gone global. This day is a chance to draw attention to these vital spaces, to celebrate their wins, to share their significance with people inland and in coastal areas, and to connect with protected areas all over the world. Anyone, anywhere is welcome to host an event, big or small, or attend events in person or online. For more about MPA Day, click here to go to the website |
