The Aliwal Shoal is a rocky reef which is the remains of an ancient sand dune approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The reef is inhabited by many kinds of hard and soft corals and other marine invertebrates, and a variety of tropical and subtropical fish species. Aliwal Shoal was named after the near-sinking in 1849 of the three-masted vessel Aliwal, captained by James Anderson. There are two wrecks near the reef that are popular recreational dive sites. The Norwegian bulk carrier MV Produce sank in 1974, and SS Nebo sank in 1884. Aliwal Shoal has diverse marine life, including large predators, and is popular as a recreational scuba diving destination. The Shoal is known especially for its abundance of Grey nurse sharks (known locally as ragged t

  • Das felsige Riff Aliwal Shoal liegt ca. 5 km vor der Küste von KwaZulu-Natal, Südafrika. Es entstand vor ca. 80.000 Jahren aus einer fossilierten Sanddüne. Mit der Verschiebung der Kontinentalplatten und einem Anstieg des Meeresspiegels wurde die Düne überschwemmt. Wasserpflanzen und Meerestiere besiedelten den neuen Lebensraum. In Tausenden von Jahren verfestigte sich der Untergrund immer mehr durch Muschelbewuchs und Korallen. Das Riff befindet sich an der äußersten, südlichen Verbreitungsgrenze von Korallen, was hier durch den von Norden kommenden, warmen Agulhasstrom ermöglicht wird. (de)
  • El Aliwal Shoal es un arrecife rocoso que es el resto de una antigua duna de arena a unos 5 kilómetros (3,1 millas) de la costa de KwaZulu-Natal, Sudáfrica. El arrecife está habitado por muchos tipos de corales duros y blandos y otros invertebrados marinos, y una variedad de especies de peces tropicales y subtropicales. Aliwal Shoal lleva el nombre del casi hundimiento en 1849 del buque de tres mástiles Aliwal, capitaneado por James Anderson. Hay dos naufragios cerca del arrecife que son sitios de buceo recreativo populares. El granelero noruego MV Produce se hundió en 1974 y el SS Nebo se hundió en 1884. Aliwal Shoal tiene diversa vida marina, incluidos grandes depredadores, y es popular como destino de buceo recreativo. El Shoal es conocido especialmente por su abundancia de tiburones no (es)
