The Nasional Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) are appealing to all surfers, paddlers and bathers along the Southern Cape coastline, particularly Buffels Bay, to be cautious following a whale carcass that remains at the Wild side of Buffels Bay in the shallow surf.
A spokesperson for the NSRI Craig Lambinon says the carcass has not yet been removed and is attracting a noticeable increase in shark activity.
He says the alert is also for the entire Southern Cape coastline between Mossel Bay and Tsitsikamma.
