PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - A major shark alert along the coast near Plettenberg Bay has been issued by the NSRI and Bitou Municipality following a feeding frenzy of sharks on a whale carcass.
The carcass of a Humpback whale has been spotted in the vicinity between Natures Valley and Keurbooms Beach, with a visible shark presence feeding on the carcass, says Craig Lambinon of the NSRI.
The NSRI and Bitou Municipality are appealing to the public to exercise caution along the Plettenberg Bay and Southern Cape coastline following the shark activity feeding on the carcass which is washing ashore.
