Middens provide evidence of past human activity by the Strandloper people who scavenged along its beaches. Wildlife here includes the endemic Heaviside dolphin and cape fur seals that establish colonies at Cape Cross and Cape Fria, where they can be prey for black-backed jackals or brown hyenas. The (*) Benguela current's cold water and the warm air from the desert to its east generates heavy fog that serves as the primary source of moisture in the area.
