SARDINES arrive in DURBAN by Adam Kamdar

SARDINES arrive in DURBAN by Adam Kamdar

SARDINES arrive in DURBAN by Adam Kamdar: The sun rose on Durban today bringing with it the spectacular sight of shoals upon shoals of sardines right out off the Sun Coast beach.

Over to Adam…

And barely a few moments later, Team Veez One reported from the beach at Amanzimtoti pipeline that they had bagged a lovely net of sardines and that it was already on the beach!

Over to Team Veez…

We also got a photo of the action…

And then The Bear reported in barely a few minutes after that!

Sardines and Sighting Maps

We have started the 2025  Sardine Run Map! Download our app to your phone or device, accept notifications, and you will never miss a single  sardine.

2024 was a thrilling year for sardines. All the action has been logged right here on The Sardine News. The 2024 map has been viewed 200 000 times and just keeps going.

Which led us to decide to keep the map live. And keep adding unique marine animal sightings and events. That occurs non-stop all year round. Last year we started to log more whale and dolphin sightings. And we even had a shipwreck! This year we have had two sailboat incidents already. PLUS, we have already logged some sardines!

Here are the links to existing and past Sardine Sighting Maps…
