If a shark is seen along the beach, the spotter sounds a siren and raises a specific colour-coded flag, and swimmers are requested to leave the water. This spotter is in radio contact with another spotter on the beach. A spotter is placed on the mountain with polarised sunglasses and binoculars.

Shark Spotters are positioned at strategic points along the Cape Peninsula. This map shows the location of Shark Spotters along the False Bay coastline in South Africa, as well as all reported white shark sightings between 8 September 2012 and 22 February 2013.
