Hajars förekomst och habitat i Sydafrika

Sydafrika är känt som ett av världens hajtätaste länder. Kalla Benguelaströmmen möter varma Agulhas, vilket ger näringsrika vatten för vithaj, kopparhaj och tjurhaj. Surfstränder i Western Cape bevakas av Shark Spotters, ett unikt flaggsystem som använder höga utkiksplatser och drönare.

Cage diving är populärt i Gansbaai, och djupkanaler kring Protea Banks lockar hammarhaj och tigerhaj. Besökare bör följa lokala råd, undvika sältäta vikar och respektera röd flagg när sikten är låg.

Habitat och vanliga arter

• False Bay – vithaj, kopparhaj.
• Protea Banks – tigerhaj, storslägga.
• Estuarier – tjurhaj.
