Fish sanctuaries are sub-quaternary catchments that are essential for protecting threatened and near-threatened freshwater fish populations that are indigenous to South Africa. Fish sanctuaries were identified at the scale of sub-quaternary catchments. The SAIAB/Albany fish data were used to guide the choices. This shapefile provides a summary of what the sub-quaternary catchment status is in terms of being selected as a FEPA, Fish Support Area, Fish Relocation & Translocation Area, Fish Rehabilitation Area and Migration Corridors for threatenedand near-threatened fish indigenous to South Africa.
