‘First just let me pose for the photo!’ Yesterday’s trip saw 3 sharks including a new small one around 2m!

Awesome capture by cofounder @juansharks via @oceanramsey who run annual expeditions to Guadalupe, Mexico to work with white sharks. The expeditions are open to the general public, contact our office if you are interested in details for next years expedition! Repost @oceanramsey ・・・ ❤️ Photo by @juansharks Grateful for time to observe and study behavior, for these surreal glimpses into their world. Forever fascinated with sharks and shark behavior. We are on the boat and heading back offshore, back to the island surrounded with beautiful #great white sharks. I hope more people are inspired to further protection for #sharks around the planet, they are a highly misunderstood and under-appreciated marvel and vital component of healthy marine ecosystems. #learnaboutsharks #helpsavesharks #greatwhiteshark #whiteshark #shark #sharks #studysharks #marinebiology #grateful #discoversharks #blackandwhite #seasblack #sharkbiology #nature #fineart #conservation #conservationphotography by #JuanSharks @oneoceanglobal @oneoceanresearch Want to join me or my team in the water you can join us on a daily basis in #Hawaii @oneoceandiving or on our annual white shark expeditions in October.

Another incredible imageand post from my friends and conservationists @oceanramsey and @juansharks @oceanramsey gently guides one of the largest documented #GreatWhiteSharks away from our @oneoceandiving shark research boat in #HAWAII #Oahu The first great white shark I ever swam with was in 2005 off my home #Haleiwa with a similarly large great #whiteshark who also rocked the boat I was on at the time working with sharks. I guess I am lucky that history repeats and not much has changed which made me confident but not complacent during this encounter but what has changed is shark populations are severely declining but for the first time ever I’ve seen this huge shift in perception in the last 5 years mostly due to imagery and the work that @oceanramsey and the team at #oneoceandiving and @oneoceandiving program and conservation and research division does (with people like @mermaid_kayleigh and @forrest.in.focus ). I hope my conservation images like this help people to question their perceptions and realize the beauty, and importance of sharks and I hope that they inspire the kind of compassion and connection we need to have with nature and sharks, to help protect them and #coexist along side them. You don’t have to love them but they do need to exist, they are absolutely critical for the health of marine ecosystems which all life relies on. Yesterday I filled up 500gb with just photos so many more videos and photos to share from this incredible encounter that lasted al day. #grateful #helpsavesharks #savesharks #sharks #shark #discoversharks #greatwhiteshark #sealegacy #oneoceanconservation #greatwhiteshakhawaii #whitesharkhawaii https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvT43mh2Ds/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p5oclg3q92ao

#Repost @whitesharkco with @repostapp ・・・ This week has been an incredibly exciting but sad week in Gansbaai. On Thursday our research and volunteer team had the amazing opportunity to witness the necropsy of the biggest great white shark ever dissected in South Africa. The shark washed up early on Wednesday morning, she was a 4.9m female with a large wound by her pectoral fin. The suspected cause of death was orca whales, which was confirmed further during the dissection when it was discovered the liver was missing. This behaviour of orca whales eating a sharks liver has previously been observed. Sadly though, this was not the end of it. At 5pm on Thursday after the dissection another shark washed up on the beach again. This shark was a 3.4m male, with huge pieces missing out of each flank. The necropsy showed the liver was missing again, as well as the heart indicating orca whales were again the cause. Thank you @marinedynamics for hosting the dissections and helping us learn from these losses to our white shark population. Whilst we can learn a lot from these animals that wash up and it is amazing to witness such a rare event, we hope that todays shark was the last dead white shark we see for a while. @discoversharks @discoverocean @sharkdivingscience @sharksdaily @pure.sharks @this_is_my_shark_life @oneoceandiving #greatwhite #greatwhiteshark #shark #sharkscience #sharkeducation #lovesharks #helpushelpsharks #thisismysharklife #helpsharks #dissection #necropsy #gansbaai #dyerisland #southafrica #whitesharkco #volunteerwhiteshark #volunteer #animalscience #conservation #education #wildlife #science #whiteshark #discoversharks #marinebiology #marineconservation #orca #animalbehavior
