Two open days meant to provide clarity and information on the newly-proclaimed Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area (MPA) will take place in Nelson Mandela Bay next week. On Tuesday 30 July stakeholders are invited to the session at the Sandunes Hall in Cannonville (Colchester) with the next day’s open day taking place at the Regional SANParks office at 42 Sixth Avenue in Newton Park. Both sessions will take place between 14:00 – 19:00 PM.

The first of the three sessions kicks off in Alexandria at the Wentzel Park Community Hall on Monday 29 July, between 14:00 – 19:00 PM.

The open days are an opportunity for local residents, fishermen, fishing industry officials and any other stakeholders who have queries related to the MPA or want to receive a copy of the Regulations as per the Government Gazette. Rangers and management from Addo Elephant National Park will be on hand to provide clarity on the regulations pertaining to the MPA as set out by the national government.
