Celebrating National Marine Week in South Africa: Protecting Our Blue Heritage

Honouring Our Oceans National Marine Week reflects on the value of South Africa’s oceans, not only as sources of beauty and recreation but also as vital contributors to the economy and environment. From the thriving fisheries of the Western Cape to the coral reefs of Sodwana Bay, the nation’s waters host a remarkable array of marine life. This week reminds us that healthy oceans directly impact food security, tourism, and livelihoods across coastal communities.
