According to a recent statement released by the South African Association of Marine Biological Research (SAAMBR), the event will be held as South Africa celebrates World Water Week. “We will be highlighting estuaries and the important role they play in maintaining our rich biodiversity.

“South Africa is home to over 290 estuaries along its almost 3 000km coastline. These estuaries are among the most biologically productive ecosystems on the planet. We look forward to sharing information on some of the weird and wonderful animals and plants that thrive in estuaries as well as how we all benefit from healthy estuaries. You will also learn about the human impact on estuaries and one really simple small thing that everyone can do to help these special ecosystems and the ocean,” said SAAMBR in their statement.
