Shark ecologist Dr Charlie Huveneers, from Flinders University & SARDI, is leading a study regarding the affect of cage diving operators on the behavior of white pointers. These sharks are protected because they are endangered. The study aims to ensure that shark cage diving is safe for both the divers and the sharks. Eight sharks had been tagged by the research team by 25/9. Up to 20 sharks are to be tracked by the researchers to determine whether or not shark berleying affects their behavior.

STOP SHARK KILLING IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

Jim of Jim Abernethy’s Scuba Adventures Inc. says that he needs your help to stop needless shark killing in Palm Beach, Florida.
“Good Morning friends”, he says. “I need your help please! I am trying to stop the needless shark killing here in my home town Palm Beach. Although this has happened many times at this marina, it was the first time I was in town to catch it, thank god! Please vote for the video above so this needless killing of an endangered scalloped hammerhead shark will have more impact! If enough people vote it may go to national news which means more support for stopping the needless slaughter of these beautiful creatures that are so vital to the health of our oceans! Feel free to post this everywhere! Below is the actual story with images! Thank you for your help!
At this moment I am very sad to say that the fisherman that did this will not be penalized in anyway, because of a interpretation of the law that makes no sense to me what so ever! If you need to reach me, email is best! Many of you know me very well and know that because I live at sea, swimming with these beautiful creatures everyday year round, I see this horrific act the same way most people would look at your pet dog, left on a cart to die and bake in the sun, as if no one gives a damn! I do give a dam and I hope you do to! Please make this count and make a difference! This type of behavior infuriates me and needs to be stopped! Thanks so much for your help! Save The Sharks.
