The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board, previously the Natal Sharks Board and Natal Anti-Shark Measures Board is an organisation that maintains shark nets and drum lines off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, to protect bathers and surfers from shark attacks, at 38 places, along 320 km of coastline. It was founded as a statuatory body in 1962, when the city of Durban's netting operations were extended to other parts of the coast in the then Natal Province. ^[1][2] It is headquartered at Umghlanga

The Natal Sharks Board marketed the first Protective Oceanic Device called the Shark POD, a personal device to deter sharks.^{[3] [4]}
