Whale Coast Conservation (WCC) se slagspreuk op hul embleem is onlangs gewysig na “Caring for your environment”. “Dit is gedoen om dít wat Whale Coast Conservation doen, in net vier woorde te beskryf,” sê dr Anina Lee, Kommunikasie-bestuurder: WCC. Haar gereelde WCC Nuusbrief wat via e-pos versprei word, is telkens met baie interessante inligting en kleurfoto’s gevul. April se Nuusbrief was ook weer propvol van interessanthede met verwysing na natuur- en seemariene bewaring.
Onder andere is daar ‘n artikel oor die bekendstelling van YEP (Youth Environment Programme), met enkele foto’s van Gansbaai Primêr daarin: die skoolhoof, Tommy Volkwyn, hulle bekende Marimba Band en ‘n groepfoto tydens die bekendstelling waarby Gansbaai Academia, Gansbaai Primêr en Laerskool Gansbaai betrokke is.
