During the recent presentation by Shark Guardian on Gili Air in Indonesia they also mentioned an event that started yesterday!
This event is the 'Thailand eShark project' and runs from yesterday, 1st November 2013 until 30th April 2014.
If possible report all your shark observations to the eShark database, even if no sharks were observed! Every observation counts, whilst snorkeling or diving and also past sightings are of interest, even no sightings of sharks are of interest!
ANYONE that has ever dived or snorkeled in the ocean can participate! All ocean going divers (professionals, recreational, and tourists) are candidates for this survey. The on-line surveys should be filled out after each dive you make – even if you do not see any sharks!
This project deserve all the input we can muster and I hope you all will be actively participating!
It's time to hit the water and get active and report all your observations, happy 'hunting' for data!
