Sharks Alive! Marine Documentary Series Filmed at Protea Banks

Filming of a new marine documentary series ”Our Oceans’ at Protea Banks, KwaZulu Natal (KZN), has been completed.

Protea Banks is home to the endangered scalloped hammerhead shark.

In November 2018 Protea Banks became one of South Africa’s 20 new marine protected areas (MPA). The boundaries of this MPA stretch from the Umzimkulu River in the north to the Mpenjati Estuary in the south. It is largely an offshore MPA that only starts on the 40m depth contour (this means it does not affect shore-based or inshore activities).
