Happy Reef Day!

Today is World Reef Day!

Covering only one per cent of the ocean floor, yet harbouring an estimated one-quarter of all marine life, reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on our planet. In this ecologically rich landscape, sharks are essential in maintaining the delicate balance, resilience and biodiversity of reef ecosystems. They regulate prey populations, reshape prey behaviour, and move important nutrients into reefs, coastlines and estuaries.

🐟 Did you know that your seafood can fall into more than one colour rating? 🧡 💚 Cape Hope Squid, consumed as 'white gold' abroad and available in smaller quantities locally, is a sought after, high quality seafood choice! However think when it comes to orange listed Cape Hope Squid that are caught via trawl nets, and opt for jigged squid instead! 🇿🇦 Your choice makes a difference to our oceans!

is our message of the month as we highlight orange listed species on the SASSI list. Orange = Think Twice, or proceed with caution as we know from traffic lights when driving. These species could easily shift so it's up to us in which direction we push them ❤️💚. This May let's think twice about species on the orange list. Maybe? Maybe not? Our oceans are in your hands!
