0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 2>It's tomorrow morning at about nine o'clock at beaching. You

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>know it's it's in Multon on the nineteenth.

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>That's right, it's going to be there. Yeah, he was

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about it this morning.

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Lisa and I were at one of the previous

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 2>trash bashes and it was amazing to see the amount

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>of people that actually arrive. They arrive about twenty past eight,

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>half past eight. The Two Oceans Aquarium as well as

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Save a Fishy normally put up a facility there and

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the city of Cape Town joins in and of course

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you you can arrive. It's good to wear a pair

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>of wellies if you're bringing the children. And it's a

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>great thing to bring the children to Clarence because the

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>school holiday still and they can come and join in

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>and clean up that lagoon beach. We had a whole

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff last time. We found a tire, we

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>found a douvet cover, we found so much plastic. And

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>this is the key thing. Uh, you know, we we

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>often complain and we often talk about the plastic that's

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>in the ocean, and there's so much plastic in the

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 2>ocean causing major problems to the to the sea life

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>and and to you know, the the the the animals

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>in the ocean, and it becomes a major problem. But

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>we we actually don't realize that it doesn't actually only

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>start with what we discard on the ocean or what

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>we discribed on the beaches that land up in the sea.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>It is actually what we discard in the rivers that

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>eventually land up in the sea. And we chose Molton

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Lagoon because there are two rivers that actually mouth acts

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>at that particular section and whatever happens upstream, like you know,

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>your your diapers, your your your earbuds and all of

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>those things that people discarding the rivers, those things land

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>up in the ocean. So, yeah, the Two Oceans Aquarium,

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a fantastic event. Bring the children, Bring everybody at

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock. A promises to be a good day. Just

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>over one hundred people last time. We're looking for quite

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a few people to join us this week, and it's

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>at the Lagoon Beach and it's just at nine o'clock.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>We give you a pair of gloves, we give you

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a bag, and you walk with a group and you

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>pick up whatever you find on the on that beachfront.

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kind of imagining it. I guess there's a

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>sense of accomplishment thereafter.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Is it not. I think you you know, when you

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>when you've picked up half a bag or a full

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>bag of of you know, of of whatever is sort

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>of left by people on that beachfront, you feel that

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>you've contributed. And this is the key thing is to

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 2>teach your children if you bring them with that you

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>have contributed something to making the ocean a safe place

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and a better place for all marine life. And I

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>think this is where one needs to commend the Two

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Oceans Aquarium because you know, very often we talk about

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>pasting in the sy we talk about the fact that

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>we need to keep the marine life, you know, safe,

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and all of that, but very little gets done. And

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>this is an opportunity for you and for your children

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to come along and do something and feel that accomplishment

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and feel that you've done something.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can also imagine a wonderful little maybe induction,

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>especially for young people into you know, the preservation of

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>our marine ecosystem and just an understanding of how we

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>fit into nature as well. Are there a lot of

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>young people that participate.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>There are loads of kids. I mean, lest there's two

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>children with there, and everybody you know brought their kids

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 2>along with And this is the key. If we don't

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 2>teach our children, we don't actually bring this across to

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>them to show them that listen, hear you guys need

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 2>to take care of the ocean and that this is

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>yours after this is your sort of inheritance that we're

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>leaving you. If you don't take care of it, then

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously you know, we will be we will we'll be

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll be in problems with with marine life. And it's

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 2>not only just fish and stuff like that. It is Wales,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>it is you know, dolphins, it is turtles and stuff

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>like that. And the two oceans. A current for instance,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>rehabilitated a few turtles which they put back into the

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>sea again. So it's that kind of a legacy that

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>we need to leave for our children, is to show

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>them and to indicate to them listen here we are

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>taking care of the ocean, and when we are gone,

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you need to also carry on with that legacy.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah. Okay, So how many.

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>People are expecting, Well, we had quite a few. We

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>had just one one hundred people last time. And I think,

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, I hope that people listening this morning will

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>will turn up tomorrow morning and then you know, it's

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>it's easy. We give you a bag, we give you

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 2>some gloves. Afterwards, there's some nice little things that are

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>given to the children. Save a Fishy has got a

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>stall because Save a Fishy has just been on on

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>on a clean up spree of all the beaches along

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the West coast and the East coast. Uh And they

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>do that once once a year, and if you think

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.799
<v Speaker 2>about it, last year they collected about thirty eight tons

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>of of uh you know, of of of of plastic

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and stuff that was all along our coast. So if

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you think about thirty eight tons, it's quite a phenomenal

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>feat to to know that, you know, we we saved

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>that amount of plastic that is not going into the sea.

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna, We're gonna arrested there Zie Johnson, I am

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 1>teeing off a little later on this morning. You may

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>just see me there. Maybe I can do a couple

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of minutes before I head off at for my Saturday

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>morning golf game.
