The documentary focuses on the dissection of a 900kg, 4.3m adolescent female white shark, which was found dead in the shark nets off Coast of KwaZulu-Natal where she was then transported to Mossel Bay, headquarters to the white shark research facility Oceans Research, for scientific dissection.

28 – 29 October Fynbos Eco FestivalThe traditional spring Fynbos plant sale at the Garden Route Botanical Garden continues to evolve into a more environmental event. WESSA is now more closely involved for the 3rd year and this year the name has also changed to make it more apparent what we are trying to achieve. There will be some changes in the layout of the event and also a system of payment using specialy printed FFC ( Fynbos Festival Currency ) which can be purchased at cash points in the garden and which can , of course, be converted back to ZAR if unused.
The environmental theme at the Garden will be „ENERGY ….. saving and alternatives“ and the exhibitions will be many and varied. WESSA will of course be there again……and we really need volunteers to help man the stall for a few hours. This opportunity will be used to celebrate WESSA’s 85th Anniversary.
If you or any contacts you have are interested in participating or exhibiting, please contact the Secretary or Colin Ralston, colinral@hotmail.com . Tel: 044-873-4203 Fax 086 646 5458 email: wessageorge@isat.co.za
