In the Depths of the Fairest Cape
Posted By Sara-Lise Haith on 5 January 2007
I was fortunate to be accompanied that day by Jeff Ayliffe, who is also a DeeperBlue.net contributor and writer. He was kind enough to take pictures of the dives from the outside of the tank. It was funny to see the world from within the fish bowl, especially the faces of the kids who looked at the sharks in absolute awe. I would not like to know what those fish think about us humans standing there pointing and gaping.
The Two Oceans Aquarium also has baby ragged-tooth sharks in a separate tank, an array of local South African marine life from clown fish to Knysna seahorses. The Aquarium also supports the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) programme, and all the fish are colour coded according to which are more sustainable choices. For more information, visit www.wwf.org.za/sassi or send an email to sassi@wwf.org.za. The Victoria and Albert waterfront is enormous and sports great shops and restaurants, boat charters and you can also see seals very closely and watch them basking in the warm African sun.
