Description: The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a fascinating and majestic marine creature. Its distinctive triangular dorsal fin breaks through the water surface as it swims near the coast of Gansbaai and Dyer Island. Great white sharks are known to hunt near seal colonies and often frequent coastal areas. The species is highly endangered due to tuna nets, longlines, and the demand for shark fins. It is crucial to protect these fascinating animals to ensure their survival.
