Shark Spotters is a pioneering shark safety programme that has attracted international and local attention because of the novel way it seeks to find a solution to potential conflicts between sharks and people. Adopted by the City of Cape Town in 2004 in response to a spate of shark bite incidents and increased shark sightings, Shark Spotting is now the primary shark safety programme used in Cape Town.

Shark Spotters improves beach safety through both shark warnings and emergency assistance in the event of a shark incident. It contributes to research on shark ecology and behaviour, raises public awareness about shark-related issues, and provides employment opportunities and skills development for Shark Spotters.

Shark Spotters is a registered non-profit organisation managed by Kommetjie Environmental Awareness Group (KEAG). KEAG is a well-established NPO with over 18 year’s experience in environmental project management on the Cape Peninsula. KEAG is dedicated to the preservation of the natural environment and to the upliftment of our living environment, which is achieved through the managing of diverse but interrelated projects that create employment and deal with real environmental needs._
