Each year, the Two Oceans Aquarium hosts a group of senior citizens as part of Cosatu Western Cape’s senior citizen programme. This annual visit is very popular, and this year was no different – on 13 May 2 027 senior citizens visited the Aquarium.

There were so many smiles, and so much wisdom and inspiration, all in one place!

The sheer size of this group called for all hands on deck at the Aquarium. A big thank you to all staff and volunteers who helped to make this day so successful. Also, a big thank you to I&J for its generous sponsorship of the MSC-certified hake that was enjoyed by the senior citizens.

We love to see our partners grow in their eco-mindedness, and love to promote the innovation of products that carry eco-credentials, such as the SASSI partnership or MSC stamp of approval. Thank you!
