The Green Fish Species inspired colouring-in page, designed by WWF-SASSI, was transformed into hundreds of colourful artworks by children from Fish Hoek Primary, Muizenberg Junior, Star of the Sea and James House. Twenty winners chosen from the various schools were each awarded a variety of Save Our Seas marine books and a goodie bag that included the SASSI pocket guide.
