TWO OCEANS AQUARIUM: DOORS OPEN AGAIN
Trash bashes continue KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels
W
ith the nationwide lockdown still in place, the Two Oceans Aquarium announced that Trash Bashes at beaches will continue in an effort to do their bit for the polluted planet. This comes after the easing of lockdown regulations under level 1. Previously, several clean-ups planned at beaches around the Milnerton and Table View areas, were cancelled a few months ago due to Covid-19 and safety concerns around large crowds. Renée Leeuwner, media and communications executive at Two Oceans, says that stretches of South Africa’s coastline are still polluted. “The current regulations state that we can have 200 people for outside events. So we are
able to have proper Trash Bashes again. Even though we are now all being careful to avoid group gatherings, it’s still rewarding to be able to get out into nature and do something positive,” Leeuwner says. The Two Oceans Aquarium made an effort to make the trash bashes virtual during the lockdown, however with the closure of beaches, this was not possible. “Devon Bowen, our brilliant social media executive came up with the idea of a virtual trash bash. We don’t want to stop doing our bit for the planet, but we have to do it safely and with everyone’s health top of mind,” Leeuwner says. The Two Oceans Aquarium temporarily closed to the public on 18 March and re-
opened on 1 September. “We are delighted to have finally received the go-ahead from Government to reopen our doors after five months of closure. The Aquarium will once again be filled with the buzz of enthusiastic visitors, discovering the magic and beauty of the underwater world. Now we can get back to our purpose of saving the oceans and inspiring all who visit,” said Michael Farquhar, Two Oceans Aquarium CEO. Two Oceans Aquarium’s communications and sustainability manager, Helen Lockhart says that apart from being good for the environment, clean-ups are not only good for the environment, but also for us humans.
“It changes people’s view of their role within the environment and instils a sense of responsibility.”
“Anyone who’s spent a morning with us, taking part in a clean-up, knows that it’s actually a chance to have a ball, to spend time with friends and family, to breathe in some fresh air, and to leave a slightly better, slightly more informed person. “Cleaning up isn’t just good for the environment, it is also good for those taking part. It leaves participants feeling that they are making a difference, playing their part and being responsible for something as fragile, yet incredibly important as the ocean. The outcome of these clean-ups is often much bigger than just a cleaner beach, as it changes people’s view of their role within the environment and instils a sense of responsibility towards their surrounds,” Lockhart says. Join the Two Oceans Aquarium Trash Bash at the Milnerton Beach on 28 November.
