Our CEO Mike Schlebach was interviewed up the West Coast on Afrikaans DStv channel Kyknet recently where he related how a 30 year career in surfing, and a deep love for the West Coast, led him and a small team of supporters to form PTWC, and how this has grown into a considerable movement with support from many stakeholders and communities of the region.

Landmark Port Nolloth fishing agreement underlines vital role of public participation in mining application process
An appeal by PTWC against a mining right granted to Whale Head Minerals has led to an agreement for Port Nolloth fishers to get improved access to historic fishing grounds, as well as other concessions, underlining the key role that appeals have in the Public Participation Process (PPP). Once the agreement between the company and fishers was reached, PTWC agreed to withdraw the appeal against the mining of heavy minerals along 27km of coast between Port Nolloth and Alexander Bay.
