I can imagine the pain of seeing our ice caps melting first hand!

Having been to the polar region, I have seen first hand the accelerated pace at which the ice caps are melting. It is just a matter of time we see those changes on our coastline..... #ClimateChangeOceans

Masukude and her daughter, Zoleka, are both skilled lobster fishers who live off the ocean on the South African Wild Coast. It is people like her and her family that will bear the brunt of climate change..... #ClimateChangeOceans

A2: We will see a drop in the diversity and availability of seafood. #ClimateChangeOceans
Replying to @WWFSASSI @WOOLWORTHS_SA @WoolworthsGBJ
Ocean warming has fisheries on the move, for example small scale fishers in Kleinmond says they no longer able to catch Snoek in this region. #ClimateChangeOceans
