Episode 2: Tides of Trash: Waste, Land and the Ocean

Our actions on land have a profound impact on the health of our oceans. From plastic pollution to toxic runoff, the consequences are far-reaching and devastating.

One million marine animals are dying from plastic pollution every year and the ocean is suffocating under a mountain of plastic waste, with 51 trillion microplastic particles polluting our seas.

In the second episode of CapeNature’s podcast series Green Noise, host Dan Corder dives deep into conversation with Captain Fanplastic, Yanga Gceya (Partnership Manager) and Shark Spotters Taryn van Neel (Education Manager) to discuss the urgent need to address this crisis.

Stay tuned and let's make some noise for a sustainable tomorrow!
