Bay Action
Nework Alliance
Bay Action Network Alliance is a non-profit organisation whose primary objective is to re-establish the bond between people, ecological processes and prosperity. We work towards this goal through Education and Development and as well as actions that improve and enhance the Conservation of the Environment and Animal Welfare.
The geographic bays of the Sub-Saharan African continent are primary nodal interfaces between societies, economies, and the environment. The bays of the African coastline are havens for human settlements, trade, and key biodiversity processes which sustain the planet.
Our beautiful bays are under threat and the Bay Action Network Alliance works towards re-establishing a balance between man and the environment.
Origin
Raggy Charters has been monitoring Algoa Bay since the early 2000s. During this time, thousands of wildlife sightings have been recorded through ongoing surveys, leading to the creation of the Bay Action initiative.
Our goal is to build alliances and collaborate with local stakeholders to protect key areas of the bay. As research continues, we are discovering increasing levels of biodiversity within these waters, highlighting just how remarkable and ecologically important this region is.
However, these critical habitats and biodiversity hotspots are shared with intensive human activities. The marine life that depends on these ecosystems faces growing pressures and requires effective protection and conservation.
It is with this purpose in mind that this NPO was established. We are currently managing two main projects: the Algoa Baywatch Monitoring Project and the Addo Canyons Research Project.
