The Nadi Workshop - Spillover!

Top left-to-right: Api, Ben and Tumbee
Middle left-to-right: Ingrid, Colin, Perry, Juerg and Netani
Bottom left-to-right: Gary and Angelo - click for detail!

Apologies - I'm currently simply too busy to blog.

Just this.
Looks like the big Shark meeting has been a great success as told here by Angelo.

And it has had direct repercussions for us.
Several participants have made time to come and say hi, and most have managed to partake in a  stellar Shark dive with plenty of Fiji Bulls and great viz. It just so happens that our dear friends Juerg and Gary are visiting, resulting in the rather epic picture above where the notable absentee is Demian who merely managed to squeeze in a short cameo before gallivanting off to some other remote destination where he's championing the cause of Sharks.

Fortuitous or not, a meeting like that will always have consequences.
Keep watching this space!

Ingrid!


Behold!

Is this lady fucking awesome or what!
Here she is doing her thing.



That was a few years ago.
Now Ingrid works as Operations Director and Conservation Manager at Projects Abroad where she also doubles as their in-house Shark specialist. It is she who has developed next year's awesome volunteer program - and it is also she who will personally oversee it in Fiji!
How much better than that can it get!

Interest so far is has been crisp.
There are now not one, but two dedicated Facebook pages featuring the usual mix of Shark advocacy, education and activism - not really my fare but hey, it is what the social media people appear to love! All I can promise is that the project proper will be excellent, rock solid science and conservation under the auspices of world-class Shark researchers.
