The Agulhas Bank (/əˈɡʌləs/, from Portuguese for Cape Agulhas, Cabo das Agulhas, "Cape of Needles") is a broad, shallow part of the southern African continental shelf which extends up to 250 km (160 mi) south of Cape Agulhas before falling steeply to the abyssal plain.
It is the ocean region where the warm Indian Ocean and the cold Atlantic Ocean meet. This convergence leads to treacherous sailing conditions, accounting for numerous wrecked ships in the area over the years. However the meeting of the oceans here also fuels the nutrient cycle for marine life, making it one of the best fishing grounds in South Africa.
The Agulhas Bank stretches approximately 800 km (500 mi) along the African coast, from off Cape Peninsula (18°E) to Port Alfred (26°E), and up to 250 km (160 mi) from it. The bank is 50 m (160 ft) deep near the coast and reaches 200 m (660 ft) before dropping steeply to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) on its southern edge. The shelf spans an area of 116,000 km2 (45,000 sq mi) with a mean depth slightly over 100 m (330 ft).
Oral Presentation Robert Mussgnug, Colin Attwood Marine Research Institute, University of Cape Town Trawl fisheries have been operating in South African waters for roughly 110 years. In contrast to other trawl fisheries, the South African fishery was opened by government-funded scientific trawl surveys beginning in 1898. Detailed records of survey trawls undertaken immediately prior to and during the beginning of commercial trawling activity provided a rare opportunity to examine long-term changes in fish abundance. In the catch composition, significant changes were found in the relative abundance of the total catch composition, as a general shift from large, long-lived species towards smaller species was found. This applied both for teleosts as well as chondrichthyans, with the entire c...

At the beginning of September the World Economic Forum released its Global Competitiveness Report for 2014-2015. And for the 5th year in a row, South Africa was ranked number 1 out of 144 countries for the strength of its auditing and reporting standards. But, is this a true reflection of the auditing landscape in the country and who are the players responsible for keeping the checks and balances in place and also, how SA fairing in comparison to the rest of the continent? Joining CNBC Africa's Nozipho Mbanjwa to discuss this is Bernard Agulhas, CEO, Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA); Muneer Hassan, Senior Executive: Standards, South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) ; Patrick Kabuya, Senior Financial Management Specialist, World Bank SA and Selvida Naiken, ...
On an annual basis the World Economic Forum releases a comprehensive report of the state of Global Competitiveness. This show willl be unpacking the results of the newly released report for 2014-2015, taking a closer look at the findings from an overall Africa and more focused SADC perspective. CNBC Africa’s Bronwyn Nielsen is joined by a panel of expert guests to share their insights on the report, Margareta Drzeniek Lead Economist and Head of Global Competitiveness & Risks for WEF, Yunus Suleman - Chairman, KPMG Africa, Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe - Co-founder & Vice-Chair, Motsepe Foundation, Bernard Agulhas - CEO, Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (or IRBA), Bonolo Ramokhele - Member of the WEF Global Shaper group and chair of its JHB Hub.

Keynote Address Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa Shark Spotters, PO 22581, Fish Hoek 7974, South Africa The depletion of sharks is of great concern, because their loss carries risks of ecosystem degradation. Conserving sharks is thus a global conservation priority, but devising successful conservation and management strategies is largely limited by our scientific knowledge on their biology and the identification of threats. South Africa, with one of the worlds most diverse and accessible chondrichthyan faunas, provides an unprecedented opportunity to conduct shark research and foster and facilitate student shark scientists. However, many students that undertake shark projects fail to complete their theses within the...
