One Little Bit Of Improvement at a time

Growing The St Lucia Experience YouTube channel one little improvement at a time.

Outsourcing the YouTube Graphics. Bringing a little bit of class to a work in progress. 

Setting the End Cards while on the run was also difficult. Getting the SEO done as we go and grow will be the next small adjustment to make a great difference.

Now some more time will be allocated to an extra Video per day focusing more on detailed analysis on how to explain the problems.

Maybe this little bit of  reliever will dampen my abrasive personality towards stupid.

I am humbled by the effort of everyone involved. Thank You.

Revisiting The 1942 Development Plan

Aquafarming The St Lucia System

The iMfolozi Flood Plains

 #Religion101

The Umfolozi flood plains were reclaimed and sold to the public in 1928 to fund the British Soldiers coming back from WWI..

But that is irrelevant.. In 1718 Sedimentation build up in the St Lucia basin was identified as a reason why the Royal British Navy did not see St Lucia Estuary fit to develop as a harbour..

You see school Geography teaches us Natural Erosion.. this is where rainfall on the mountain and it slides down into the valley to create fertile farmland.. anyway..

St Lucia couldn't function naturally anymore back in 1718

Since God gave dominion over Nature to man more than 8000 years ago.. about 2000 before the Glacier that covered this area melted.. it is only fitting to continue with 1942 Development plan of turning The St Lucia Basin into the biggest man-made Marine Aquaculture in the history of mankind.

If not .. the system will choke to death.. a natural course that these systems undergo.. and become farmland..

My take on this.. a Marine system is much more important than more crops.. cheaper to develop and much more productive in green protein than any other commercial farming operation..

As a freshwater system, it has a limited life span and very little use..

As a marine system, it populates the Tugela Shelve, the sandbank running from South of Durban to Mapelane Bay just South of St Lucia Estuary.

As a marine system, it is a Nursery to 50% of all the marine species of South Africa.

As a Phytoplankton Production Facility, it keeps the only organism alive that mitigate global warming every 48 hours

We cannot turn our back on managing The St Lucia basin as a Marine System and we don't need the Umfolozi flood plain to do it.

It was already silted up in 1718.

The Death of an Ecosystem - 10 Aug 2015

St Lucia Estuary

Many moons ago, stuttering, dyslexic Petrus started with his lone campaign. At this time I already lost my children's inheritance twice in the fight for a Managed Marine Functioning System. In this very poor quality video, I tried my little heart out with substandard equipment telling the story of a dying system and a failing World Heritage Site. Today I watch this and think back.. all the criticism, not only because of the poor quality videos, but also the negative publicity it brought to the community. 

No one wanted to visit a dying system, but I was adamant that no publicity was bad publicity. We had to turn this decay around. I will never know if it was my continuous winning that irritated people enough to pick up the struggle or was it Covid19, but somehow everything came together and today we can look back and smile, laugh or sympathise with me..
