Talking about getting the facts right.When writing that post, I was reminded of a recent lunch with a fellow Shark conservationist.We were comparing the image of terrestrial vs aquatic apex predators and he looked at me and said that contrary to the fishermen, the hunters had never led to the......

Wansolwara anybody?It took me a while to figure out that this is a combined word, in PNG Pidgin, for One Salt Water, meaning the Ocean that connects and unites the Pasifika......

I did like Patric's Sunday Sermon.It's in the comments section of this post, after which he has posted this one.Both deal with the numbers circulated by some Shark activists and warn that if we argue with faulty data, we lose credibility and ultimately harm the cause......

Well, as I said Amos never disappoints!Having finally had the time to go through all of the recent Shark-related blog posts out there, I came across this one by the good guys over at The Dorsal Fin highlighting Amos' newest batch of GW pictures in the British media.For all the hype, most of it is......

Domeier apparently thinks that showing off this meat hook is somehow cool - well, it aint!Bingo!I've just come back from an epic DEMA Show, only to find out that Domeier has managed to grieviously injure a Great White.This is what has happened (transcript here).It's all very very bad but having......

It's that time of the year again.I've packed my bags and am on my way to Orlando.Beqa Adventure Divers are at booth # 679 and we all look forward to a great DEMA show - and to Doug and Emily's engagement party......

One would think that all Shark researchers love the Sharks they study.Well, think again.Marine CSI researcher Dr. Michael Domeier goes fishing for endangered Great Whites. He hooks them, drags them aboard and then uses a drill to attach satellite tags to their dorsal fin......

The Blue Blogs are unleashing.South Park has taken on Sea Shepherd and many out there have taken that as a pretext to reaffirm their deep misgivings about Capt. Watson's brand of conservation activism......

Fiji Shark Conservation and Awareness Project
New signs ready to be distributed to all supporting marinas, resorts and fishing boats in Fiji. Funding was provided by Project AWARE! The dock signs are printed and laminated on 0.080 Marine Grade aluminum to ensure resistance against the elements. The Shark-Free Marina Initiative has a singular purpose, to reduce wor......ldwide shark mortality. We encourage shark conservation at sport fishing and resort marinas by prohibiting the landing of any shark at the participating marina. The SFMI works with marinas, fishermen and like minded non-profit groups to form community conscious policy and increase awareness of the need to protect our sharks, our ocean and our legacy.

Looks like the public workshop about the Lemon Sharks went well.As does the petition!That's what I gather from the messages I get and from the recaps on Oceanic Dreams and the Shark Safe Network blog......

The end of the Bull Shark season is clearly approaching.To witness, the animals are skittish and infuriatingly picky.One day, they are ravenous and turn up in impressive numbers; the other, they stick to the sidelines and will only deign to approach if enticed with juicy pieces of Oilfish, a......

From the website of the Florida Museum of Natural HistoryOne sure never stops learning!Apparently, that's the other name for the Bignose Shark, Carcharhinus altimus, in itself a rather obscure species, at least to this scribe......
