The Cape Peninsula is the thin finger of land in the south-western

most corner of Africa, with the city of Cape Town at its head. As
you travel south towards Cape Point, the land gets narrower until it
disappears into the ocean, with nothing beyond except Antarctica.

The cold Atlantic Ocean on one side and the warm Indian Ocean on the other.

The Cape waters offer

some of the richest
fishing grounds in the
world.

There is an abundance
of pelagic fish.

Any water in the sea

that is not close to the
bottom or near to the
shore is in the pelagic
zone.
