# The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment is stepping up efforts to protect Durban’s Bayhead Mangrove heritage site through coordinated enforcement and environmental cleanup operations. Deputy minister Narend Singh says government agencies, Transnet, eThekwini Municipality and other partners will work together to remove plastic pollution and restore the mangrove habitat.
