Living on Earth reports on South Africa’s latest ocean safety program
“Cape Town has over the last few years experienced an increase in the number of White Sharks occurring in the in-shore zone… anecdotal evidence from water users suggests that in-shore occurrence has increased.
In response to these events and the increased fear by water users, particularly in False Bay, two community driven programmes were started out of a need to improve the safety of recreational water users.”
Given the recent increase in sightings in the East Pacific, perhaps a similar program is warranted on the California coastline?
