On January 21st 2010, SASC will be returning to the Breede River in an attempt to learn more about the elusive Zambezi (bull) sharks that occur in this estuarine system on the southwest coast of South Africa. With the assistance of some experienced anglers, SASC will attempt to capture, tag and track three Zambezi sharks as part of our larger Breede River Zambezi shark study.
This is an exciting new direction for SASC and our research programmes, and we hope our upcoming 2-week field trip is successful.
Stay tuned to hear how the trip went...

Sounds awesome! How do i find out when the show will be aired? I guess that depends on the success of the expedition? I swam in the Breede,down by Witsand, often over December and have for more than a decade. It would be great to be able to follow the movement of the sharks with gps tags online. They've been a feature in many fishing stories with lots of pictorial proof that Im sure you've seen!
ReplyDeleteHi Lourens,
ReplyDeleteWe will definitely post airing dates on our website & blog once we hear from the production team, and will keep everyone in the loop with updates on tagging and tracking activities whilst we are at the Breede.
Thanks for your support!
Hi SASC Team
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting with baited breath(pardon the pun) to find out how the latest Breede River expedition has gone. Did you manage to tag the 3 Zambies you were hoping for and also what size etc.
Please post the latest details.
Kind regards
