Boesmans-Kariega Estuary Care
Management Forum
We care for our Estuaries – the heart of our community
Our mission
To ensure responsible and sustainable preservation and use of the Boesmans and Kariega Estuaries and their tributaries and environs from their source to their mouths and the adjacent coastal area.
What we do
Our Estuaries are irreplaceable and must be managed carefully to the mutual benefit for all to enjoy, and to those who depend on them. It is imperative that we protect and care for them.
