Crayfish is like a lobster, and goes very cheap here. Good fish, usually more expensive at hotels, is easily found for quite cheap along the road with licenced hawkers selling their catch immediately. Although crayfish have never let the fishers down for decades here, not too long ago, millions of crayfish committed suicide, leaving the poisonous ocean. The coastline south of Africa is polluted at certain areas due to oil spills of hundreds of ships passing through. Also toxic wastes are being dumped into our oceans as well as industrial wastes running in pipes into the sea.
Sea life is endangered here.
At certain areas, especially on the eastern side where the less affluent people live, one often sees a red tide washing all over the coastline. Most sports take place on west coast. Control of the coast is maintained by professionals. We have well-trained life guards, sea patrols, etc. Tourists delight themselves sighting whales coming in from the Antarctic, and dolphins are usually seen playing with swimmers who swim in deep.
