Crittercams could soon be attached to various great white sharks in the False Bay area through collaboration between the Save Our Seas Shark Centre and National Geographic Society.
The use of the crittercam will assist the City of Cape Town in understanding why white sharks use the area during summer.
Crittercams are small animal-bourne cameras used to study the behaviour and ecology of wild animals.
The success on the camera will help understand why Clovelly Corner and Sunny Cove are areas of high activity during the summer months.
The National Geographic Society has made the crittercam available to the City on loan from for the period November 2010 to end of February 2011.
The successful attachment of the Crittercam on the sharks will depend on the City and Save Our Seas Shark Centre.
The areas include Fish Hoek bay as well as off remote coastal areas around Macassar, Wolfgat and Strandfontein.
