A roman caught near Cape Point. Because roman are born female and change sex later in life, intensive fishing skews their sex ratio, hurting a population’s ability to bounce back.
A roman, hottentot seabream and a puffadder shyshark gather around a baited underwater video system in operation. Stereo cameras allow scientists to estimate the size and age of the fish drawn to the bait. seabream and a pyjama shark gather around a baited underwater video system in operation.

Nepenthes x kinabaluensis (natural hybrid between N. villosa and N. rajah), wild, upper pitcher.
Low's pitcher plant (Nepenthes lowii)
The 'toilet' pitcher plant (Nepenthes lowii), attracts shrews and other small animals with nectar. As they sit on the peristome to feed on this delicacy, they defecate into the pitcher, providing the plant with otherwise scarce nutrients. N. lowii is endemic to Mt Kinabalu and neighboring Mt Tamboyukon.

Roman and hottentot seabream are abundant in the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. Although South Africa’s fishing regulations are far from trouble-free, marine protected areas are proving to be the light at the end of the tunnel for the future of the country’s iconic reef fishes and its growing group of fishermen.
