The Sardine Run movement is monitored by the KZN Sharks Board with regular updates shared on the SCTIE social media platforms. Wayne Harrison of KZN Sharks Board said that while the Sardine Run activity is yet to get underway, there has been some ocean activity further south: “At Port Alfred, there’s been quite a bit of bait fish over the last two weeks with Bryde’s whales coming up to the boats and a pod of young Orcas. Further south to Jeffrey’s Bay there have been common dolphins in the deep feeding and whales in the vicinity. While there’s no sardine activity yet, we are closely monitoring the situation. ”
