Tourism roleplayers, hotel- and guest house owners were invited to join Marine Dynamics Shark and Whale Tours for a Marine Evening on 12 May at the Hermanus Auditorium.

Marine Dynamics was very excited to see so many tourism partners at the SATSA Green Shoots Youth and Adventure Conference held in Gansbaai, a first face to face conference in two years.

This Shark Week Season will feature a number of programs starring our team members, Ph.D. candidate Alison Towner and marine conservationist/adventurer/skipper Dickie Chivell.

The Dyer Island Conservation Trust, in partnership with Marine Dynamics Shark and Whale Tours, is proud, and excited, to be hosting the 2021 6th Southern African Shark & Ray Symposium from 17-19 November.

A major win for South African shark species is the newly implemented slot size limits for all species of sharks targeted by line fishermen.

The Mystery Surrounding White Shark ‘Disappearance’ in South Africa. Various media reports have created much confusion to the public about white shark absence or disappearance in South Africa. Marine Dynamics has been monitoring white sharks since 2005 and hopes to shed some light on sightings for the past few years.

The Marine Dynamics/Dyer Island Conservation Trust (DICT) responded to a stranded Great White shark notification. The carcass was recovered and our team of marine biologists performed a necropsy the following morning.

This investigative insert on Carte Blanche brings to the attention of the public the South African demersal shark longliners.

COVID-19: PROTOCOLS

Shark cage diving tourists in Gansbaai (Western Cape) were horrified when a fishing boat started catching bronze whaler sharks in full view of where they were busy observing the sharks. The presence of the “Bronzies” has ensured the viability of the shark cage diving industry during a time when great white shark sightings are more infrequent due to a variety of reasons.
