The Overstrand Conservation Foundation (OCF), now trading as Whale Coast Conservation, was established in 2002. We are a member based organisation founded with the mission to unify, coordinate and promote environmentally sustainable living in the Cape Whale Coast region of the Western Cape, South Africa . Our vision is that the Cape Whale Coast community will be a vibrant, environmentally sustainable community.
Sustainable living is achieved when the community experiences continuously improving prosperity and social wellbeing through the optimal utilisation of its people, wealth and natural resources without placing the biodiversity of the natural environment at risk or depleting non-renewable natural resources needed by future generations.
"Whale Coast Conservation passionately lives by its slogan “Caring for your environment”.Its small staff and volunteers are dedicated to raising community and visitor awareness of the unique, biodiverse natural resources of the Cape Whale Coast region and to projects that convert awareness into practical actions that lead towards living sustainably."
