Did you know most sharks have a built-in pair of goggles? πŸ’‘πŸ‘€

Most shark species (including the bronze whaler sharks pictured here) have a third eyelid known as a nictitating membrane. This opaque layer slides over the eye to protect it and is often used while hunting.

Some mammals, amphibians, and reptiles also have nictitating membranes including camels, frogs, and snakes. 🐫 🐸 🐍

But not all sharks use this trick. Species such as the great white shark, the thresher shark, and the whale shark don't have an extra eyelid. Instead, they protect their eyes by rolling them back into their heads. Whale sharks take it even further by also having dermal denticles on their eyes for additional protection. 🦈

Last week, some of our crew joined Save a Fishie and many other incredible volunteers at Gansbaai Caravan Park and the De Kelders tidal pool for a beach clean-up! A whopping 71 kilograms of trash was removed from the De Kelders area alone, and we couldn't be happier about it.

Save a Fishie is currently on their Coast 2 Coast campaign, during which they are travelling along South Africa's coastline, not only cleaning up waste and pollution but also inspiring communities. Their journey will be split into six trips throughout the year, targeting different areas each time. This trip focused on the Overberg area, where a total of 529 kg of litter was cleared from the environment. In 2025, the team and coastal communities managed to remove an impressive 7,7 tons across South Africa.

"Nothing was missed β€” the rocks, tidal pool, pathways, bushes, braai area… everywhere was tackled!" – Save a Fishie

We wish them the best of luck with the rest of their trips this year!
