Save a Fishie has made South Africa super proud by breaking the World Record for the longest beach clean-up ever!
Milnerton, South Africa (11 December 2023) — On Saturday Zoë Prinsloo and her labour of love, eco-service Save a Fishie, gave South Africa and the planet a clean-up for the books.
The 21-year-old Capetonian (who has already achieved many accolades for her commitment to clean-ups and care for the planet) has just added another huge one to her tally—a World Record!
After 27 hours of an ongoing clean-up on Milnerton Beach and Lagoon, the final bags of trash cued a big round of applause from all those who joined the tremendous effort; signalling the success of the World Record smash.
It is now officially the world’s longest beach clean-up in history.
Knowing that this all happened on a South African coastline as spearheaded by a young local made many Save a Fishie supporters and South Africans alike reaffirm their belief in what the younger generation will achieve. With a future plagued by environmental concerns and all the socio-economic related consequences, moments of hope from helpers like Save a Fishie and all the other eco-champions we know remind us that the bleak picture of the future is not set in stone.
Some 663 kilograms of waste (which is heavier than a colossal squid) acted as a trophy of more than just environmental accomplishment, but a win for collective responsibility. It was the end of over a day of hard work, but the beginning of a new chapter that all of us can be inspired by.
