The City of Cape Town has identified 14 locations around the Cape Peninsula as being extremely vulnerable and under threat, some of which are already seeing the effects after recent severe storms. Approximately R5 billion worth of infrastructure is located within these areas. Drastic measures need to be taken to prevent a full-blown crisis.
These are some of the scary facts Darryl Colenbrander, Coastal Coordinator at the City of Cape Town, will share at this year's Wavescape Slide Night held at the Predator Tank in the Cape Town Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront today, 11 December at 7pm.
The event forms part of the Wavescape Festival, which began on 27 November and runs until 16 December 2013 with film screenings at the Brass Bell and Labia Cinema in Kalk Bay and Cape Town respectively.
The 10th edition of the festival, supported by WWF's Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI), Jack Black Beer, and glacéau vitamin water, brings the ocean community of Cape Town together through various events with ocean conservation as the theme.
Tickets cost R100 and MC for the evening is Lauren De Vos, Conservation Biologist at the University of Cape Town's Marine Institute. Slide Night is a very popular event with limited space.
