22.01.2022 Short Notice Again! Another free talk that should be of interest. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sprigg-lecture-prof-sean-co

17.01.2022 The more we say no to Plastics, the more they will listen and find new ways of packaging goods ... How good is this?!

16.01.2022 At the next FoGSV AGM in November, three office bearers will be stepping down from the Committee - the President Mike Bossley, Secretary Steve Papp and Newsletter Editor Angela Gackle. This means there will be a few important vacancies to fill. If you have an interest in joining this committee and continuing the work it does, let us know!

16.01.2022 Continuing on with our chat with Featured speaker Sarah-Jo Lobwein and the work she does in regards to single use plastics #swapforthesea . 1. Plastics - what have become your favourite swap items? . There are technological advancements and inventions, (or rediscoveries of what society used before we became addicted to plastic), all the time that amaze me straws made out of wheat for example, and consumable soft bio plastic packaging of pasta made out of algae that we can ...just throw into boiling water etc. . But my favourites are the every day items reusable, take your own or compostable straws, cutlery, takeaway containers, coffee cups, water bottles, shopping bags, paper bin bags and produce bags because they are so easy and accessible humans were using them before plastic was invented or became prolific. The ones that reduce waste in general such reusable or not using an item at all is the best solution (such as not using a straw), and then compostable such as paper or bamboo. . Personally I can’t believe how empty my bins are once I phased out most plastics I use the paper sandwich/ mushroom veggie bags or paper retail shopping bags for my bin and wash out the bin if it gets dirty (and there are businesses now that can come clean your bins!) - there is always an alternative. . 2. Plastics - what can’t you avoid or still struggle with finding an alternative? . Dried Dog food that’s not overly expensive (but recently found a brand that is meant to be home compostable packaging but will have to see if it passes my dog’s taste test!), potato and corn crisps (there seems to be alternative to all other snack packaging except for these) and CDs I have always loved the joy of purchasing a new music CD and most come in plastic hard or paperboard plastic covered. Those three all have alternatives, but they are my naughty weaknesses. . The main struggle for me, as a some one who is gluten AND lactose intolerant AND travels to remote places, is sometimes I have to eat a lot of rice or just accept the plastic until I find a way to get the venue or place to change. Usually I take my own packaging with me and then bring it home to recycle, for example when I am home my bread comes in paper or reusable bags, but travelling I will take with me gluten free bread in plastic sealed bags. . . . . . . . #waronwaste #waste #saynotoplastics #refuse #recycle #reuse #repurpose #upcycle #protectourgulf #saveouroceans #gogreen #nature #conservation #climateaction #marinedebris #beachcleanup #bethechange #adelaide #fogsv #friendsofgulfstvincent See more

15.01.2022 Hi everyone, It's that time again...Friends of Gulf St Vincent AGM, Tuesday 19 November at the Henley Sailing Club be there at 6pm for a 6.30pm start!

11.01.2022 After heavy rains in Adelaide the Torrens often floods, and all kinds of stuff is washed out into the GulfSV. This may include Tortoises. The marine environment is not where they belong. If you find a tortoise, do not put it back into the sea - take it to the Torrens, a freshwater lake, stream etc.
