For the last few days, the #MPA team from @KisiteMpunguti Marine Park & Reserve in #Kenya have been looking at fish predation of sea urchins. More predation of urchins = a more healthy system. Checking trends at closed, gear restricted, and fished sites
Good job!

Remote beaches offer critical habitats some of which are important for turtle nesting activities, however, these areas are vulnerable to deposition and accumulation of marine debris, which can threaten wildlife. We collected 610kg of debris in Mvundeni Beach with Team Kiunga👏👏

The heavy rains over Durban and the surrounding areas left a trail of devastation and destruction in its wake over the past week. This has resulted in a huge influx of plastics, debris and other waste being washed up along the shoreline.
