The Protea Banks Marine Protected Area is a marine conservation area on the continental shelf edge off the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.
Seven species of shark are known to aggregate in this area, including hammerheads, ragged-tooth and giant guitarsharks. Several undescribed species of fish, corals and comb jellies have been observed. The Sardine Run occurs in this area and the new MPA is expected to support a tourism economy. Sharks are fully protected throughout the MPA because of their ecotourism value. Three submarine canyons and a spawning area for commercial linefish will be protected[1]
