Despite the growing environmental awareness the Save a Fishie team is creating by having regular beach clean-ups at the Milnerton Lagoon, the lack of local involvement is still a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zo\u00eb Prinsloo from Save a Fishie says they only have three or four volunteers from the Milnerton community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t come every week but are regular beach clean-up attendees that are actually from Milnerton. The rest of the people attending the clean-ups are from Edgemead, Bothasig, Richwood areas and we even have supporters that come from Wellington. We have people coming from all over Cape Town for the Milnerton Lagoon clean-ups, but the lack of Milnerton locals attending is a bit sad to see considering it is their area,\u201d Prinsloo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prinsloo told TygerBurger <\/span>that she is just curious why the locals do not join and has set up a poll via Facebook asking for their input. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to do the poll to see what people are thinking and see how they feel about it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday morning, a total of 171 votes were in with most (approximately 63 votes) saying they do not attend beach clean-ups because they are not sure where it is being held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 42 people say they do not attend because they work on Saturdays and about 15 people say they do not attend due to their children\u2019s sport activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach clean-ups are usually held every Saturday morning at Lagoon Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic straws were also found on the each.<\/div>\n

Last Saturday, the team held a clean-up in partnership with John Dory\u2019s Fish, Grill, Sushi and collected 98,5 kg of waste. <\/div>\n

Last year plastic waste washed ashore at the Lagoon Beach.<\/div>\n

Changes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Prinsloo says after the votes were in, she decided to make a few changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will try to share the clean-up flyers more (I do already share on this group but will try sharing more often) \u2013 one week and one day before the event. I will also try to host a clean-up on a Sunday and see if that makes a difference,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says she will also remind the public that they don\u2019t have to go into the polluted water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have gloves. We have sanitiser. We are safe,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday, the team held a clean-up in partnership with John Dory\u2019s Fish, Grill, Sushi and collected 98,5 kg of waste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAgain not many volunteers from Milnerton, which was sad to see. We need more local support and involvement. All the usual suspects with regards to litter found: a gazillion cigarette butts, alcohol bottle caps, straws, lollipop sticks, stove nappies, lots of material etc. Yvonne found a dead fish and our American friend, Jen, found haemorrhoid cream,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
