SAEON prepares for official launch of its Elwandle Node

The SAEON Elwandle Node conducts long-term observation and research projects at Algoa Bay in partnership with the SAEON Egagasini Node. These projects enable continuous monitoring of the impact of development on the Bay.

SAEON’s Elwandle Node has been tasked with the management of phase 2 of ACEP, a flagship programme of the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, which also hosts the SAEON Elwandle Node. The five-year programme aims to significantly boost marine research on the east coast of South Africa and to contribute to the Agulhas Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ASCLME) programme, a major GEF-funded international project.

SAEON will be launching its Elwandle Node for coastal-inshore systems early next year, together with the second phase of the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP II) and the South African leg of the Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystems (ASCLME) programme.

SAEON is currently working on the launch programme with key stakeholders including ASCLME and the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB).

SAEON’s Graduate Student Network is also intending to hold its Indibano in Grahamstown to coincide with the event, which will allow the attendees to attend the launch.

Further information will be published in forthcoming issues of SAEON eNews.
