Last month, we detailed just how few and far between great white shark sightings have become in Cape Town.

Rather alarmingly, the Shark Spotters research team had yet to have a confirmed sighting of a great white this year, and shark cage diving eco-tourism operators who frequent False Bay’s Seal Island were just as unsuccessful.

Whilst there may be a number of factors coming into play, it’s the presence of Port and Starboard, the two orcas who have developed a taste for shark livers, that are the focus of Kelly-Jane Turner’s video, featured on IOL.

In the video, Shark Spotters CEO Sarah Waries outlines how Port and Starboard’s activities may be affecting the sharks’ behaviour and movements.
