Drop in Great White Shark Numbers Due to the Orca

Great White Sharks have been avoiding certain areas of the Western Cape coastline, especially the Gansbaai area, for fear of being hunted by Orca. Bronze Whaler Sharks and Cape Fur Seals are moving into this space as neither are any longer threatened by the Great Whites which hunt them. This imbalance in the ocean system is possibly one of the reasons for declining African Penguin numbers and the small pelagic fish they feed on.
