| The Elephant Coast of KZN South Africa Relies very
heavily on the passing trade associated with the recreational use of our
natural environment and the associated activities of fishing, camping,
walking trails, bird hides, canoeing on our water ways and many others.
Fishing and making recreational use of the ocean environment is however
the prime attraction for the Elephant Coast.
Any thing that impacts on fishing and the pleasures of recreational
fishing in particular thus impacts very heavily on our economic
feasibility within the tourism industry of the Elephant Coast and the
iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
