Kusbewaring

Let asseblief daarop dat die Suid-Afrikaanse kussone (strande en aanliggende kusgebiede) ingevolge Nasionale Wetgewing vanaf 21 Januarie 2002 gesluit is vir voertuie. Die voorheen geïmplimenteerde kuspermitstelsel het verval en sal daar tot verdere kennisgewing geen voertuie in die kusgebied toegelaat word nie. Oortreders stel hulle dus bloot aan vervolging.

Sorg asseblief dat u altyd die nodige permit het om kreef, perlemoen, skulpe ens. uit te haal.
