Romy Wenzel, of Clean Surf Project, extended a special thank you to ATKV Natalia for its continued support and for providing a space for environmental education presentations.

“Together, we tackled plastic pollution hidden along the shoreline, in the sand, and among the dune vegetation, learning first-hand how litter impacts our oceans,” said Wenzel.

She emphasised the vital importance of putting into practise the three Rs of waste management, namely reduce, re-use and recycle.
