Cape Town’s marine outfalls are special pipes that safely release treated wastewater into the ocean at Camps Bay, Green Point, and Hout Bay. The city carefully monitors and upgrades these systems to protect both people and marine life. In August 2025, experts and officials met by the Atlantic shore to discuss new challenges, like invisible chemical pollutants that are hard to remove. Cape Town is planning smart improvements to keep the ocean clean and support its growing city. This teamwork and innovation show how the city balances nature and progress for a healthy coastal future.
