Marine Diversity

WE ALL NEED TO REMAIN MINDFUL OF THE DECLINING STOCKS OF FISH LEFT IN OUR OCEANS. THERE IS A PARTICULAR OBLIGATION AMONG ANGLERS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE FISHING PRACTICES.  IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT WE SAFEGUARD THE BALANCE AND ABUNDANCE OF LIFE IN OUR OCEANS, BOTH FOR OUR GENERATION AND THOSE THAT FOLLOW.

The South Coast of KwaZulu Natal offers a diverse array of great fishing venues and species to delight any angler.  Endless kilometres of shimmering sandy beaches, estuaries, placid lagoons, gullies, reefs, streams and the allure of the open ocean invite keen fishermen to try their luck!

 

ANGLERS CODE OF CONDUCT:

• Only take what you need!  Tag and Release fishing can be just as satisfying!
• If you catch an undersized fish, handle it in such a manner as to ensure the best chance for survival when released.
• Educate yourself about the status of different species and stay “seafood legal”.  Go to  for a comprehensive list of healthy, compromised and endangered species.
• Recreational fishermen of are constrained by bag limits of most linefish species on a ‘per day’ basis, and/or minimum sizes.
• In addition, recreational fishing is limited to certain times of the angling season…
• No fish caught by recreational fishermen (including divers) may be sold, but may only be used for personal consumption.  Permits are required to harvest, sell, import or export marine resources.
• Always clear away your litter and leave your fishing vicinity in a pristine state.
