Shark Eco Tourism in South Africa - Action Alert!

Please read this.

Wilfred is one of the real good ones.

His venerable Marine Dynamics stand at the forefront of South Africa's Shark Conservation, Tourism and Research and as such has been nominated to be the only GSD member from that region.

With that in mind, please sign this petition.

Contrary to many others, this one is very much linked to action on the ground whereby your signature will most certainly assist the local Shark diving operators in making their point when they will meet with the local authorities.
More here.

This is urgent.

Please, do sign, and re-post on your social media.

Thank You.

 

Shark ID - Help wanted!

These are Bulls Sharks - click for detail!

What are those Sharks among those Grey Reefies?

Methinks Dusky/Galapagos (but possibly Bronzie?) and.... Pigeye (!!!) - the latter because she doesn't feel like a Bull, and because I read that from C. amboinensis, the bull shark differs in its lower, less erect first dorsal fin and higher, more erect second dorsal fin. The ratio of first:second dorsal height is 3:1 or less in C. leucas, but over 3:1 in C. amboinensis.

Opinions please!

JSD - David?

New Zealand - let's go catch ourselves a pregnant Bronzie!

Gotta love the Kiwi anglers!
Just got this from a reader who comments

I wanted to share an interesting little piece in today's NZ Herald 'Outdoor' insert.
Interesting reading.....

I've learnt that the collective attitude towards the sea is pretty rough at best; but I think a piece suggesting anglers target pregnant Bronzies on their way in to pup as 'training' for pelagic fishing out to sea takes the award...........

Indeed - need I say more?
The part I love most: use plenty of berley - right in the middle of Auckland!

Once again, For shame, New Zealand!
