Riley Elliott Instagram – We found Daisy’s tag!!!!
Thank you to everyone who put the word out, shared the posts, searched the beaches, told your relatives, amazing work.
Long story short, I got a phone call a day ago from a lovely lady called Leanne in Gate Pa, who said her flat mate David found it while walking his dog Thor along the beach. David and Thor search for rubbish every day along the beaches, to keep NZ clean, and stumbled across this weird device. He brought it home, shared the intrigue with Leanne, but the next day they had a hospital appointment and were away for a few days. Understandably they were out of the loop for a time (the days you were all sharing the questions where Daisy’s tag was), and so when they got home, they turned on their phones and holy cow, saw the messages everywhere on social media, the news, the paper etc etc thanks to all of you! And then I got the call. The following day I visited them, who were huge shark fans, both grew up in the JAWS era, but both however love what sharks stand for and do in the oceans, and they were so stoked to have brought Daisy’s tag back to the Great White Project. Next step, find Daisy 🙂 and continue to learn about her and other Great Whites sharks starting to share the waves with us in NE NZ.
Thank you so so much for all of your support. This project wouldn’t have even got off the ground without the amazing NZ public, so thank you, and to all the media and news agencies for helping share the information. | Posted on 06/Jun/2023 13:23:04
