Mark Addison runs Blue Wilderness shark diving in the Ailwal Shoal Marine Protected Area.Today was a dark day for Tiger shark conservation at that site as he and his team discovered three stunning animals caught in fisherman's nets.
One of the smaller animals was "rescued" by Mark but the blow to this dive site is something you cannot even begin to imagine.
We'll keep you updated as to the next steps to be taken here. Overall it's been a tough week for sharks, highlighting the global need from Australia to South Africa for local protections and initiatives for sharks.
Here's the email we got this afternoon:
Dear all,
Today was a tragic day for the tiger sharks in the Aliwal Shoal Marine Protected Area. Two animals were killed in the shark nets at Scottburgh this morning and we were able to free another little girl later in the day.
Kind regards
Mark

Disgusting!
What's being done about this? Is anyone doing anything?
I went to BW website today are they doing anything about this?
If I recall this is the second time this year they have cried "dead shark" and we all get angry but what is being done?
