The issue of erecting shark nets was also previously discussed with the DoEA who stated that the erection of these nets would not be feasible as there are no suitable places to anchor them down at second beach and also because the nets would not be effective as the Zambezi sharks swim in very shallow water. Even if the nets were erected, the cost of maintaining them would be high, as a dedicated team of experts would have to be permanently employed and equipped to inspect the nets on a daily basis for them to be effective. The costs of maintaining these nets would most likely not be financially viable for the municipality. Furthermore the rough seas will also be difficult in maintaining the integrity of the shark nets, as many species will be let through during rough seas.
