Home Actor Riley Elliott HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers February 2023 Riley Elliott Instagram - Another Great White shark has been tagged and is on the Great White App! It’s name is SWAJ - named by sponsors who wanted to help reverse the JAWS mentality - and what better a shark than this amazing 1.4m long, less than one year old new born. A very novel shark to tag. She is the second I have seen in this area which reflects how important it is for the species. On the same day as I tagged this shark I unfortunately also got news that Takami’s tag was torn off by a fishing longline put out off the beach using a kontiki. From the report it would appear that Takami interacted with the line, either for its bait or a fish that was hooked, and she got hooked herself and panicked, becoming entangled. She broke free but the tag got snagged on the longline which was recovered when they reeled it in. I am very grateful for the guys reporting it to me and are sending the tag back for re-deployment later. It is not their fault at all, as they were just tying to catch a feed in what is a very low bycatch manner. It has however become a more common source of juvenile GW interactions. These men were doing the right thing, watching their longline so they could have released any bycatch that may occur. It appears Takami got away ok but I am gutted that we won’t be able to follow her movements anymore. This tagging project is designed to help us learn more about their critical habitat so that we can ensure we don’t adversely interact with them and vice versa. At this stage however, as seen through Takami and in tagging SWAJ, a baby Gw, it would appear that they are vulnerable little sharks likely facing greater risks day to day from fishing interactions. Please don’t use set nets in areas with larger animal presence and if you accidentally hook a shark on a line, please cut the line at the hook and release the shark immediately while it remains in the water. If it’s a GW this is a legal obligation and you must report it to DOC. The Great White App is now available on the Google store for Android, for a small fee that supports the running of this project. It is being developed for Apple asap and it as always is available free to view at sustainableoceansociety.co.nz

Riley Elliott Instagram – All 20 Great White satellite tags have been sponsored!!!!! Once I have deployed this round of 20 tags, I will endeavour to apply to DOC to tag more than 20 Great Whites. This may provide future opportunity to sponsor a tag, however that may be years away pending their processes and the time it takes to tag these 20 sharks at present. This project is not only satellite tagging, but also acoustic tagging the GWs, which uses smaller ‘sound emitting’ tags, enabling me to actively track the sharks in real time, using an underwater hydrophone and drone flying above. This gives us real time insight as to what the sharks are doing in certain areas. I will also be deploying acoustic receiver stations around areas of interest, like swimming beaches, ski lanes, fishing spots and surf zones. These receivers detect acoustically tagged sharks for periods up to 10 years, and thus map the habitat use of the GWs over the long term, and do not require the sharks to break the waters surface, like satellite tags do. These long term acoustic tags cost $700 NZD each, and while they will not come with naming rights, as per the satellite tags, the sponsor of any acoustic tag will be named in the profile part of satellite tagged Great Whites. So if you still want to support this project, I apologise that its success means all satellite slots are taken for now, but there is more research planned, so if you want to sponsor an acoustic tag, please email me at nzsharkman@gmail.com or if you want to contribute a donation through SOS to help support the running costs of fuel, DNA sampling, and general logistics, this is just as helpful. Thank you to all of the NZ public who sponsored tags. Thank you to @extremeboats.nz @mazda_nz @yamahamarinenz @gfabtrailers @raymarine_nz @seadek for the boat and vehicle support used for this project.
Riley Elliott Instagram – The morning ritual of wake up, coffee in hand but rather than straight to the newspaper, now I am all about seeing where the Great Whites are and wow Mananui has made an incredible mission up the Coromandel Coast, passed my house and to the Mercury Bay Islands. Where to next for this shark??? Keep an eye on the Great White App (link in my bio) Bowentown, Waihi Beach
