Coastal Research Expedition 2025

We are excited to share that will be conducting their 7th Coastal Research Expedition in October this year.

For this years route, we will be hiking from Blombos Nature Reserve to the coastal village of Wilderness, an approximate distance of 210km.

The objective will again be to survey for plastic pollution, fishing debris and indicator marine fauna species. We will again focus on the population density and distribution of African Black Oystercatchers.

For ocean plastic waste, we will use the Trashy20 survey every 5km in conjunction with 5 other plastic pollution surveys.

As we work on the logistics for the route, it is with great appreciation to have anchor and former sponsors pledge their support for this years expedition.

For more information on the objective of the coastal research expeditions and how you can assist, visit our website and become part of the solution to ocean plastic waste.

Hoopoe Cabin, slightly more spacious than Owl Cabin, is a charming retreat inspired by the striking hues of the Hoopoe bird. Nestled among the trees, this romantic hideaway offers a tranquil escape, perfect for relaxation and a digital detox.
One of its standout features is the outdoor shower, boasting an even more breathtaking view through the treetops, where guests can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying the fresh forest air.
