Sards in hiding

SHOALS of sardines are keeping a very low profile and nets have been reinstalled at Glenmore and Port Edward.

Sharks Board personnel say things are ‘very quiet’ down the coast, although there was a bit of dolphin activity at Mtentu in the Transkei over the weekend. The sardines were spotted about 5km offshore at Margate and nets were removed at Mzamba. Many lower south coast beaches are net free and bathers and surfers are warned that they enter the water at their own risk.
