Title: Suncoast - Sardines
Post by: Homie on July 21, 2010, 02:12:33 PM

 

Durban - Thousands of sardines have swarmed along the   beachfront at Suncoast Casino in Durban on Wednesday, the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks   Board said.

“In terms of sardine activity, it's off the Durban   beachfront.

"Netters are busy off Suncoast Casino at the moment with lots   of fish around, however it is quiet along the south coast,” said Mike   Anderson-Reade, head of operations at the Sharks Board.

Anderson-Reade   said shark safety gear had been removed on the Durban beachfront and bathers   should check with lifeguards before swimming in the sea.

Last year   sardines failed to show up in Durban.

On Monday sardines were netted at   Umhlanga beach and last week Monday the fish showed up at Margate beach on the   south coast of the province.

The sardine run is a popular tourist   attraction in KwaZulu-Natal which sees communities gathering on the beach to   fill baskets with the little fish.
