Great White Sharks disappear from False Bay in Cape Town
Could it be false? According to Shark Spotting Programme, they have been monitoring their activity since 2010. But in 2019, they have completely disappeared.
According to News24, between 2010 and 2016, there was an average of 205 Great White Shark sightings per year at their operating beaches during the spring and summer period.
However, in 2018, the recorded amount of shark sightings fell to only 50. This year, not a single sighting has been confirmed by spotters. The programme have not detected the sharks either.
The shark cage diving eco-tourism operators, who would normally witness multiple individual sharks visiting their vessels, and up to 30 seal predations daily, have not had a single white shark sighting at Seal Island in 2019.
It's not sure when they will return or if the sharks have left False Bay for good. Scary, right?
