October 09, 2019 Beautiful News
Guest : Aaniyah Omardien
Talking about marine conservation isn’t enough. The shocking state of our beaches
demands immediate action. At coastal rock pools across the world, octopus, starfish,
and anemone compete for space with cooldrink bottles, sweet wrappers, and fishing
gut. These plastic items absorb harmful chemicals and pollutants. Over time, they break
down and are ingested by sea creatures, bringing toxins into the food chain. A crisis of
this magnitude warrants a collective movement. Aaniyah Omardien is gathering the
masses to clean up this mess.
In 2015, Omardien founded The Beach Co-op, a non-profit organisation committed to
keeping South Africa’s seas healthy and plastic-free. The all-female team meet with
volunteers every new moon to remove pollution from Surfer’s Corner on Muizenberg
Beach.
As an environmental scientist, Omardien also hosts events to track the ‘Dirty Dozen’, a
selection of marine refuse that repeatedly washes up. This includes items such as
earbuds, lighters, and lollipop sticks. Collecting and recording the debris allows
Omardien’s team to observe the levels of trash in the water. With data, they can
substantiate the urgency for a response.

October 09, 2019 Shark and Ray Symposium
Guest : Dylan Irion
In a developing society, the establishment of a “blue economy”, the sustainable use of
the ocean’s resources to ensure the growth and improvement of livelihoods is crucial.
Hand-in-hand with this critical need is the need to conserve and protect the health of
the marine ecosystem.
Sharks, rays and other elasmobranchs fill vital roles in this ecosystem; from apex
predators and keystone species, to scavengers and charasmatic conservation flagships,
elasmobranchs are both inherently affected by, and in turn affect the blue economy.
The 5th annual Southern African Shark & Ray Symposium invited experts from all
aspects of marine ecology and ocean resource development to share their knowledge
and experience in these fields to better elucidate the fundamental links between
elasmobranchs and the blue economy.
