Coastal Management
West Coast District Municipality
The Coastal Management project’s core function is:
- the cleaning of beaches;
- alien cleaning;,
- assisting with Red Tide incidents; and
- monitoring and control of Bird flu pandemic and reporting and removal of dead seals.
The project contributed to environmental management, education and waste management.
It also created environmental investment and job opportunities in the Elands Bay and Papendorp areas.
The West Coast District Municipality’s excellent coastal management work was acknowledged in local media outlets, and meets the Provincial Priorities of Jobs, Safety and Wellbeing.
