Home Actor Riley Elliott HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers November 2022 Riley Elliott Instagram - Today the Coroner’s report was released for the tragic shark fatality in Bowentown NZ Jan 2021. I really struggle to post about this, but I wanted to ensure accurate information and context was provided in this case, and the ongoing presence of Great Whites in this area, especially with summer approaching. I live just up the coast from Bowentown, I surf, I dive, and I have friends and family who play in the sea too. I am also a shark biologist, specialised in shark behaviour.I have worked in ‘conflict regions’ where GWs overlap with people, and can result in adverse interactions. In some places they thought nets, hooks and guns were the answer. Scientific studies showed it wasn’t. Technology, research and the public communication of information through modern media is the answer and has been proven successful in places like California, NSW Australia and S Africa. With this in mind I submitted to the Department of Conservation for a permit to tag and track this protected species, in order to emulate the successful projects I have been involved with or witnessed overseas. The permit was given in June 2022, and now the ‘Great White Project’ is underway.  Without Government funding for this area of research in NZ, I called on the NZ public to empower such a project by sponsoring satellite tags that enable us to determine what the sharks are doing and where, and how that overlaps with us. So far 8 / 20 permitted tags have been sponsored and naming rights given. What’s amazing for everyone is the ‘Great White App’ coming soon, which will, free to the public, allow you to visually see where the sharks are, and through scientific insight being added, what they are doing in relation to us.In this way we can hopefully reduce risks for us and for sharks, by utilising technology. I feel for the family and friends of Kaelah, the lifeguards and doctors on site, but as Kiwis I know that we respect nature and the wild animals in it.  If you want to learn more about the sharks in this region, and/or support the generation of knowledge by sponsoring and naming a shark, please go to www.sustainableoceansociety.co.nz link in my bio.

Riley Elliott Instagram – From one of my biggest mentors in conservation @shawnheinrichs provides some incredible news that requiem sharks have been listed in CITES which means that they cannot be exported without a permit from countries harvesting them, proving that their catch is sustainable. This is incredible news as 100million sharks a year are killed for the shark fin trade. The most exploited species is my PhD baby, the blue shark, which has been so overlooked for decades now, along with many of the other species now listed on CITES. While this does not provide ultimate protection, it establishes a significant hurdle for exporting countries to prove that such catch is sustainable. For my home country of NZ, and many others with poor management data for such species, due to low observer coverage, hopefully this catalyses a much sought after management policy, which is cameras on boats. Cameras provide data that would not only benefit sharks but also all bycatch species including seabirds, dolphin and turtles. Having lost 70% of the worlds large sharks in the last 50 years this is a massive conservation success. So thank you to all of those who helped get this across the line. The sharks are smiling :)
Riley Elliott Instagram – With more Great Whites around NE NZ than ever before it is critical that we understand their movements in order to not only be educated about where and how we recreate in the ocean but also to help conserve this protected species. If you are interested in sponsoring a tag and thus a shark, that you can name and track online for free, please go to www.sustainableoceansociety.co.nz for information on the cost and what’s involved with the Great White App which allows the world to follow where these sharks go. This is a call to those everyday NZers, those big corporates or those small business owners, anyone with a passion for the ocean who wish to support its health and our love to play in it.
