I run the global Shark survey and am chairman of Shark Savers Malaysia. I also teach marine science courses for divers on an island close to Semporna in Sabah, Malaysia. The Tropical Research and Conservation Centre (TRACC), protects coral, turtles and sharks, please help us protect the part of the planet that only divers see.
We have protected sharks in Sabah, Malaysia. To help protect sharks in other countries we need more information on shark populations wherever you dive.
The Global shark survey shows clearly that there are very few sharks left (none on many reefs) but we need to prove it.
The brothers reef in the Red Sea has gone from many sharks seen per hour (1996) to a few in a week of diving (2011).
In Sabah I have 2050 hours of observation in a National park and no sharks seen.
The decline of the shark population is dramatic but organisations like Shark Savers & WWF rely on fisheries data, not diver surveys. The problem is not about fins it is about death of sharks. YOU know there are no sharks where you dive, tell us and we can document the decline.
Politicians like numbers, help us to help them change the law!
Please follow the instructions for the global Shark survey and send us the data that is hidden in your logbook.
