Jaco Kruger, NSRI Plettenberg Bay station commander, said: NSRI and the Bitou Municipality are appealing to the public to exercise caution on the Keurbooms River and along the Plettenberg Bay coastline due to shark activity.<\/p>\n
During a routine exercise on Wednesday evening, 18 May, on the Keurbooms River, NSRI Plettenberg Bay duty crew came across a White Shark, approximate length 3.5 meters, in the Keurbooms River, about 300 meters upstream of the Keurbooms River Mouth – about half way between the river mouth and the N2 bridge.<\/p>\n
It is unusual to find a shark in the river itself.<\/p>\n
Marine Scientists, of the South African Shark Incident Committee, suspect that the shark may be ill or disorientated.<\/p>\n
But the warning is a precaution to alert the public of the presence of a shark in the Keurbooms River and a reminder that at this time of year sharks are known to feed inshore along the coastline and increased shark activity has been noticed along the Plettenberg Bay coastline.<\/p>\n
Caution is advised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
