CORE FUNCTIONSThe core function of the KZNSB is the protection of bathers against shark attacks at designated protected beaches along the KwaZulu - Natal coastline. This mandate is fulfilled through the installation and maintenance of shark safety gear deployed to prevent shark attacks at 37 protected beaches. The KZNSB maintained 22.12 km of shark netting and 107 drumlines off the KwaZulu- Natal coast. The KZNSB continued with research on the biodiversity of sharks and non- lethal shark - repellent cable technology. The shark repellent prototype cable was successfully tested against white sharks at Mossel Bay.
