International Marine Volunteers – Day 18

Day 18, September 27th, 2018. Today we helped to transport a plastic wave to Hermanus for the upcoming whale festival. Marine Dynamics, the company I am volunteering with, will be showcasing the wave and raising awareness for their conservation projects. The wave is made from used water bottles, fishing nets, and plastic bags. After setting up the wave, we had some downtime to explore Hermanus and meet the locals. Hermanus is one of the best places on earth for land-based whale watching. It more than lives up to its reputation. We saw dozens of Southern right whales breaching, tail slapping, and hanging out.
