The 2026 Sardine Run has officially kicked off on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast . Seine netters have successfully been hauling in significant catches at Port Edward.
Huge crowds gathered at the weekend as seine netters brought in multiple crates of sardines, marking the start of the highly anticipated annual migration.
Authorities are now urging beachgoers to remain cautious as an influx of fishermen, tourists, and marine predators is expected along the coastline in the coming weeks.
