Two completely different ways of preventing shark attacks.
Many people get confused between shark exclusion nets (barriers) and traditional shark nets but they are actually two completely different ways of preventing shark attacks. Traditional shark nets are a fishing device and a form of lethal control of sharks that can have negative consequences for the environment.
Shark exclusion barriers (nets) are a non-lethal, environmentally responsible form of shark control that have far fewer negative environmental impacts, if any. The net in Fish Hoek is a shark exclusion barrier.
