Riley Elliott Instagram – The GREAT WHITE APP is here! Over the past several weeks I have been on the water trying to deploy satellite tags on Great White sharks in NE New Zealand. Through the incredible generosity of the NZ public, 16 tags have been sponsored. Two Great Whites have been tagged so far, Daisy and Takami, making history as the first ever tagged in this region. If you visit www.sustainableoceansociety.co.nz on any device, you will land in the Great White App. This has been developed thanks to @earthrangertech and The Dream Factory and it’s free to the entire world. I will endeavour to tag more Great Whites in the New Year, and ongoing, in order for us to not only generate novel scientific data critical to the conservation of this endangered and protected species, but also to provide public information to empower a greater understanding of how our recreation activities may overlap with theirs; the ultimate goal being a healthy respect and level of co-existence which ensures we get to enjoy the ocean, and they continue to live in it, providing key ecosystem services. There’s plenty of information on the App, below the map, regarding how to use it, how detection locations are obtained and why some appear to be on land at times. Thank you to the NZ public who sponsored tags; the first two being Daisy by Jane Mowbray, and Takami by Mazda NZ Thank you to @extremeboats.nz @yamahamarinenz @gfabtrailers @raymarine_nz @seadek @mazda_nz Hunter Signs Ltd for supporting this project and ongoing marine exploration through the vessels and accessories.
