Abalone shells littering the steps at The Marine tidal pool. I have witnessed poachers down at the pool almost daily in the later afternoon 🙁

And our law enforcement ?… It’s easier to stop vehicles carrying abalone worth thousands but cannot stop poachers walking into the sea right and taking it out right under their noses even when notified by the public. Maybe they don’t want to get their feet wet and sandy??

Skande dat hul net toegelaat word om aan te gaan met poaching

We heard gunshots and boats racing during early hours of the morning before sunrise. Poachers at war.
