Koos Malgas the Gannet Takes off To Protect the West Coast
A 90 kilogram sculpture of a Cape Gannet that stands five metres high has been crafted from driftwood for Protect the West Coast. Kommetjie artist Chip Snaddon was commissioned to create the huge bird as an iconic symbol of the threatened and endangered fauna and flora of the West Coast that PTWC is trying to protect from heavy mineral and diamond sand mining.
