Volunteers joined forces at Lagoon Beach in Milnerton last week for a much-needed beach clean-up and Easter egg hunt, collecting an astonishing 528 kilogrammes of litter \u2014 including over 200 nappies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event also served as a reminder of the vulnerability of local marine life, after a seal was found dead on the beach earlier that morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Seeing the seal reminded us just how crucial our work is,” said Zo\u00eb Prinsloo, founder of Save a Fishie. <\/a>“Every piece of litter we remove helps protect marine life and ensures our beaches remain safe and clean for everyone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the cool Easter morning and litter left behind by recent rains, volunteers from MyStudentHouse, the Anglican Church, and regular beach clean-up participants worked tirelessly to rid the beach of waste. Plastic packets, straws, chip packets, clothing, and over 200 discarded nappies were among the debris collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastics SA provided bright yellow collection bags, one of which weighed an impressive 25 kilogrammes at the end of the morning.

Easter fun with a purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the clean-up, children were treated to a special Easter egg hunt, with colourful stones hidden across a section of the beach. Kids of all ages enjoyed the hunt, exchanging stones for chocolate eggs, while adults got in on the fun as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was wonderful to see teamwork, laughter, and real action all in one morning,” Prinsloo added. “These volunteers are the real Easter heroes, making a tangible difference for our coastline. Events like this not only remove harmful litter but also raises awareness about the threats facing wildlife, including seals and other marine creatures.” With winter approaching, organisers emphasised the importance of continued community involvement to prevent further pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save a Fishie invites locals to join upcoming clean-ups and do their part to keep the coast clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
