Shark Defenders Action Alert

Admittedly one of the coolest Shark NGO logo and branding efforts goes to Shark Defenders.

They also have the pulse on all things related to Grey Nurse Sharks in Australia and they need your help.

As Da Shark in Fiji points out:


"Australia's Grey Nurse Sharks are critically endangered and it is imperative that we counteract the pressure by the NSW fishing lobby who wants to encroach on their aggregation sites. As SD correctly points out, individual testimonies are generally more effective than copy/pasting templates or joining petitions."

Submission close on Friday, August 26.

Please do submit your testimony.

NSW Grey Nurse Sharks - Recommendations and Plans

Over in Fiji, Mike, aka Da Shark has been following the issue of Grey Nurse sharks (Carcharias taurus) in Australia.

We covered some of the stunning policy details here.

Mike has penned a complete look at this issue from multiple sources, with some well thought and conservation minded solutions as well with the help of Mark Gray the award winning dive pro of Sundive in Byron Bay.

This is must read stuff, and industry leadership in full blossom.

Kudos.
