Policy on white shark cage diving

The "Policy on White Shark Cage Diving (“WSCD”) is intended to provide guidance to the processing and decision making on permit allocations for WSCD operating permits. This policy must be read with the WSCD Regulations.

The aim of this policy is to outline objectives and criteria for the permit allocation process which will guide the evaluation and allocation of permits in the WSCD industry. This policy does not cover consumptive use of shark species. The consumptive use of shark species is regulated through sector specific policy and permit conditions published in terms of the Marine Living Resources, 1998 (Act No. 18 of 1998) (MLRA)."
