South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.

What began as a desire to learn more about the impact of recreational fishing along the Southern Cape coastline has evolved into the Strandloper Project - a comprehensive series of coastal hikes monitoring the density and distribution of ocean plastic garbage. Since 2019, in their first series of expeditions, volunteers of the local Strandloper Project have hiked 960km along the shoreline between Hermanus and Cape Recife in the east.

In the first series of expeditions, the worst affected shoreline of washed-out monofilament was during the 2021 expedition between Arniston and Hermanus. On 5 October, the team of six hikers, supported by their backup driver, started hiking from Pringle Bay to Struisbaai, a distance of approximately 220km. They expect to complete the hike on Friday 18 October.
