The Dyer Island Conservation Trust Marine Month competition has become an eagerly anticipated event for Overstrand schoolchildren aged 7 to 14. They enter not only for a chance to win a Marine Dynamics Marine Safari but also to let their creativity shine, inspired by the beauty of our oceans! This was the 8th year the schools competition took place, raising awareness about marine and coastal environments and promoting the sustainable use and conservation of these resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
This year, DICT introduced three different categories.
Learners aged 7–14 were tasked with creating a seal, shark, whale, dolphin, or penguin using recycled materials or by drawing an A4 image of one of these animals and “coloring” it in with scrap paper, crayons, markers, paint, pen, or pencil—any medium available to them.
