Michelle!

Well, NOW we're talking!

This is as good as it gets.

We've been big fans of Michelle ever since noticing her gleeful deconstructing of the dipshits with an opinion and a keyboard, and I can only commend the Gills Club for having added her to the lineup of Shark Heroes.

Well done!

And here comes Kara!

Well well - what can I say.

From this lab.

Who are doing this (= milking the Shark cull?) and especially, who are lending academic gravitas to this shit - but having said that, so is Ryan Kempster for whom I have a lot of respect!

Tricky tricky!

So far, undecided!

And this is number five!

Again, good choice.
Here she is, explaining the Great Eggcase Hunt.

Ali - Shark Hero number four!

This is a real good choice.

The Shark Trust is one of the very best Shark NGOs.

They do great work on the ground, and this is an real important initiative. Especially all European Shark conservationists should consider lending a helping hand.

Well done!

Melanie - number three!

Surprise surprise!

We've just met!

And I can attest to the fact that she's one cool lady!

If I understand it correctly, she is principally concerned with supplying the science for the implementation of sustainable fisheries - but then I find her among the co-authors of Yannis' epic Tiger Sharks migration paper, and world on the street has her conducting Reef Shark research in remote Hawaiian atolls!

Anyway, once again, great job by Ed & Co of EDNA!

Shark Hero number two!

Source.

Behold!
And as so often, I stand corrected!
She obviously masters the unsurpassed conservation skill of taking selfies!

Lindsay - first Shark Hero!

What's that on the wrist of the Shark Hero - would that be, gasp, an ORCA? Click for detail!
Brilliant cartoon by EDNA Interactive!

Nice!

Certainly a million percent better than that week-long orgy of fraud and mental midgetry I'm trying my best to ignore!

And of course we here love love love Lindsay!

But I must say, I'm frankly disappointed.

I've now spent the better part of the last hour going over the Gills Club's website, blog and FB page and the result ha been zilch, nada de nada: not a single measly video of any of those gals swimming loops around, let alone hugging and riding (!) a perplexed Elasmobranch - and above all and most disappointingly, zero bikinis!

And don't get me started about those pictures!

No makeup and hair stylist, no avant-garde logowear, accessoires and technical gizmos, once again zero bikinis - nothing!
Plus - ever heard of selfie, shaka sign, black duck wings?
Now THAT's what I call REAL conservation!

I mean, seriously!

Ladies - how will you ever be able to Make a Difference if you're so glaringly unwilling to dispel the myth of those misunderstood animals that only want a hug!

With that science shit?
Really?

Anyway.

Like I said, nice - but you can and must do better!
