Description

There’s truly no better feeling than sinking your toes into soft white sand, hearing the roar of mighty waves crashing in the distance, and feeling the saltiness of the ocean air stick to your skin. Even the smell of suncreen makes me long for the beach now! The beaches in South Africa are some of the most beautiful in the world. How lucky we are! I love that the sand is always scattered with beautiful shells and curious animals that call it home. However, it is more and more common now to spot litter, sewage, plastic, and other pollutants ruining the beauty of our beaches.

This contaminates our coasts, destroys marine life, and can make people and animals seriously sick! Beaches play an essential role in the environment, so it is important for us to protect them. They help to mitigate climate change, and provide permanent habitats for thousands of marine plants and animals. Of course, this all depends on our coasts being safe and healthy. Beaches are for all of us to enjoy, and it is also our responsibility to help keep them clean. So, next time you’re collecting beautiful seashells to take home, why not collect some litter to throw away too? Every little bit counts towards keeping our beaches beautiful and healthy.
