Day 3 cont.....




Next stop was the Natal Sharks Board. They keep our waters safe for us to be able to swim. They have put net along our coast to keep the sharks from swimming to close to the beaches. However other species like dolphins, turtles etc. also get trapped in the nets. So they patrol the nets each morning and free the trapped.

If there are any dead sharks they bring them back and dissect them. We saw them dissect a Black tip shark and Tiago got up close and personal. The shark was a female shark and was pregnant with 8 pups. They are looking into other means instead of the nets.
