Parking on the dunes at Au Cap beaches is strictly prohibited, the Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change, and Environment has said.

The ministry through its climate change department, recently installed rocks along the dunes to prevent vehicles from parking in these sensitive areas, which has led to queries from the public. Principal climate adaptation officer Annie Simeon, last week met with the press at Au Cap to address the issue.

“We want to raise awareness among the public about the importance of not parking on the dunes along the coast. Here at Au Cap, we can clearly see the sand erosion taking place. We are urging everyone to stop parking in this area,” she stressed.
