Acquaint yourself with shark warning systems

The City of Cape Town would like to warn beach users of high shark activity along the False Bay coast during the past few days, especially at Fish Hoek, St. James and Muizenberg beaches. "Increased shark activity is most likely the result of high biological activity in the Bay, such as the presence of seals and schools of Yellowtail. We urge the public to always read the signage and familiarise themselves with the flag system at Cape Town’s beaches. In this way they can relax and enjoy themselves at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world,” said Gert Bam, Director of Sport, Recreation and Amenities. (Press Release 4th Feb 2010)
