In an interview produced exclusively for Scubaverse.com, Jeff Goodman speaks to De Wet du Diot, Director of The Last Shark, about the culling of Great White Sharks in South Africa.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa – A rapidly growing coalition of over 50 organisations spanning the entire eastern coastline has launched a public campaign to end the use of shark nets and drumlines along the KZN coastline.

“The KZN culling devices don’t just kill sharks, they remove whales, dolphins, and endangered species from our oceans,” said Kim McLean from SharkLady Adventures in Gansbaai. “We have proven, modern solutions that can protect both swimmers and marine life.”

The coalition’s petition, which is addressed to the minister of the DFFE, is open for signatures at:

Organisations are invited to send an email to thelastsharkdoc@gmail.com in order to join the coalition.
