The Ocean starts here Hunt

By Captain Fanplastic

Captain Fanplastic is turning this September into #TheOceanStartsHere Month by going to the source of pollution, communities around rivers that lead to the ocean. We are challenging organizations, schools and the public to take part in an environmental campaign that raises awareness on the relationship between human activity and our blue natural heritage. No matter where we live we are connected to the ocean through, water or wind: #TheOceanStartsHere.

Arrrgh you ready for Captain Fanplastic’s #TheOceanStartsHere Hunt? Join our river cleanup and help us raise R200,000 to reach 20 public schools and 2,000 learners.

What to expect?

Listen to a storytelling session of our book Captain Fanplastic & The Black Mermaid, an inspiring story that takes us on a journey exploring how plastics affects not only the ocean, but our cities and communities too. It tinkers with the idea of the ocean starting at your doorstep. This story introduces new friends Zandi the Black Mermaid, Amaza and Nolwazi who join Captain Fanplastic and Fin’s adventures. Then there will be a comprehensive environmental programme suitable for children between 7 and 16 years old and a grand finale with an interactive river clean up challenge including fantastic prizes.

*Note adults can purchase The Legend of Captain Fanplastic book online here and our new book Captain Fanplastic & The Black Mermaid online here. Or add it to your ticket and receive your books at the show.
