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.

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 – The shark forecast is spicy today with Mako sharks landing on boats out front of my house today! Good to see these fishermen @churchyschartersnz were respectful enough not to try and go up there to protect their window wipers but rather wait for the highly intelligent mako to realise it got the gymnastics routine wrong and wiggle back in. In all honestly and seriousness this is unfortunately the most common way ‘shark attacks’ by Mako sharks happen. When they are hooked on a line, and start to go airborne in panic and effort to rid this foreign thing in their jaw and they sometimes land in the boat. As stated by these fishermen, they were happy it didn’t land in the back of the boat as that’s a whole different kettle of fish. If you are jigging or live baiting for kingfish, this is usually when catching Mako can occur. It’s a difficult scenario as you do NOT want the shark to take a bunch of line, and you panic and cut the nylon, because that shark will tow that deadly line around for the rest of its life, slowly but surely becoming entangled. On the other hand many people are scared of getting close to a shark, which is fair enough, and will now be a bit more afraid of one landing in the boat. But best practise if you hook a shark is to get it to the boat safely and respectfully and cut the nylon right beside the hook. This keeps the shark in the water, you safe on the boat and the hook will rust out easy as. The better practise is to try and avoid catching sharks where possible by not intentionally hooking one that comes around the boat, as it’s just not worth the risks, to you or the shark. Overall the greater message is, this was likely an experience that made men feel a little bit scared for a moment, then likely some empathy for what is a literal fish out of water, then some relief when it got back in, for their sake and the sharks. And that’s all good vibes. But as someone who’s had a Great White jump in the back of their boat once before, it can be a much riskier experience, so remember, respect the ocean, wear a life jacket, watch the weather, and get a coastguard membership as the sea itself is far more dangerous than even a shark on your boat ;)
