By 1992 a total of 44 beaches were protected with 44.6 km of nets between Richards Bay ( 28°48'S, 32°06'E) and Mzamba ( 31°05'S, 30°11'E).

Currently, the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board (KZNSB) Operations Division is responsible for servicing and maintaining installed shark safety gear at 37 beaches along the coastline of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).

The info-graphic below showcases the 37 beaches along the KZN coastline:

Man there’s some good surf along that stretch

I met a saffa last week. We were hanging around waiting for the wind and tide to drop so we had a bit of time to kill.

He was 60 and a great surf traveller. His favourite surf location was around East London, better surf and less crowds than anywhere else he has surfed. He's still thinking of returning but feels that SA is just too fcuked. He was quite disparaging about the Margaret River area (he had tried it for a few years), nothing like the quality and consistency around East London he reckoned, and still quiet and undeveloped compared to the rest of SA.

Saffa I work with grew up surfing Cape St Francis. Turned his nose up at the suggestion of J Bay.

yeah sorry, I was wrong, the nets were set

Greenmount's probably the most protected open surf beach in Australia

nets were set yesterday.

With Shearers revelation that the nets were set yesterday do you think the shark could have potentially been trapped shore side of the net?

[Nick Carroll]

umm loofy do you know how meshing works? It doesn't hem in the coastline. These nets off Greenmount are well offshore and set at a slight angle to the coast. They are designed to catch sharks who try to set up a territory or who are looking for food by swimming back and forth outside a surf zone. Sharks can't be "trapped" inside them. The idea that because sharks are frequently caught on the more shoreward facing side of a meshing, that meshing doesn't work, is a classic fallacy. If the shark was caught, it worked.

[steve shearer]

correct.

[Drailed]

Yeah, I know Nick.

Steve mate, stop saying "correct" to peoples posts to make yourself look like some kind of authority on a subject.

[steve shearer]

alright Loof.

[Thud]

Yeah, I know Nick.

You didn’t have the foggiest.

Correct.

Prime juvenile and sub adult great white fodder is the Australian salmon. Since 2011 pros have been able to net 224 tonnes a year of Aussie salmon north of Barenjoey. That's 2000 tonnes of "smaller" great white tucker - the stuff they hunt close to shore and even in thw wave zone - potentially gone. Juvie and sub adult great whites follow the salmon migration north in winter.
Everyone talks about the whale migration and great whites, but not a peap about this possible link. Hungry inshore great whites looking for the salmon which have been dramatically thinned.

Yep around Boomerang Beach and surrounds there’s lots of salmon lots of juveniles in the past, apparently. Not sure now but there was a few salmon jumping around in the Cenny Coast the last few weeks.

Yeah, I know Nick.

Correct.

Shut up cnut, no one thinks the fccckn nets provide a non stop barrier.
