On 10 February, Governor Oos Wes Ilava issued a statement about Occupy Oceana and demanded that the camp was to be abandoned before 20 February, because of the preparations of a traditional Limburgish celebration called Vastelaovendj. But most people remain engaged with the Occupy Oceana, although the number in the state decreased. By the end of March and then on the numbers dwindled. Noble City and Hurbanova began to shrink on by 1/4, Newhaven on 1/11. By April 15, the Hurbanova camp was abandoned and the Newhaven camp had only seventy protestors remaining.
