Saving the Endangered Sandfish

Sarah Fransman remembers when spawning Clanwilliam sandfish arrived in the Biedouw Valley near Clanwilliam. The thousands-strong shoal creating wavelets along the surface of the Biedouw River, fish packed on top of one another, Fransman said. “Dit was wonderlik om dit te sien in die water.” (It was wonderful to see it in the water.) Now the fish are scarce.
