Increased Shark Activity – Be Cautious

10 August 2020 by Con Tributor

The NSRI and City of Cape Town (CoCT) Marine Animal Stranding Network are appealing to surfers, paddlers and bathers on the Atlantic Seaboard, Cape Town, particularly in the Long Beach, Kommetjie and Noordhoek areas, to be cautious following a Bryde’s whale carcass that has washed up on Long Beach, Kommetjie, on Monday 10 August.

The whale carcass is attracting noticeable increased shark activity in the area and caution is advised.

CoCT Solid Waste Management will arrange for the removal of the whale carcass.
