South Africa is known for its amazing shark biodiversity and is one of the few areas around the world known to be a hotspot for this kind of diversity. The country’s waters are home to a wide array of shark species, making it a prime location for scientific research and conservation efforts.
In the world of the Dyer Island Conservation Trust and Marine Dynamics, every single day holds the significance of Shark Awareness Day!
It is through the support of the Tourism Industry that our teams are presented with the opportunity to venture out to sea on a daily basis, embracing the whims of weather and tides. Over the course of two decades, we have meticulously gathered a vast database of observational data, unveiling the secrets of the sharks in our region. Our teams, with their wealth of knowledge, educate and enlighten thousands of guests each year about these majestic creatures and their indispensable role within the Dyer Island ecosystem. Witnessing the departure of our guests, not only with lifelong memories but as true advocates for sharks, fills us with immense joy.
