#Repost @monstersfilm with @get_repost ・・・ One of many newspaper clippings displayed in The Natal Sharks Board Museum, or 'Tribute to Terror Gallery' (as I call it) because it is designed to justify their ongoing slaughter of sea life by reminding people they should be scared of the ocean. The story in the photo says so much about our current approach to sharks. The man was "lucky", implying lucky to be alive or to have escaped. He was "attacked" although there was no injury (see link to article I found if you'd like to confirm no injury). The shark that was killed is referred to as the one "most likely" to have been the "attacker"...but hey, if it wasn't, it's cool to have killed any shark because hey, it's a shark, and all sharks are bad. When you're a shark you don't have to be guilty to face the death penalty and you don't have to have caused injury to deserve to die. There's potentially a interesting ecological story here as well. I'm not an ecologist, but what do you think? The shark killed was a mako shark. What are mako sharks known for? Their incredible speed in the open ocean, which allows them to chase down fast prey, such as a favorite of theirs, tuna. This guy's board was bitten WHILE he was kite surfing, which means he was racing across the surface at high speed. The bite mark is also on one of the board's fins (many ocean predators bite fins to disable their prey from escaping). So, this shark was attempting to fulfill an ecological role, bit the wrong thing by mistake, did not cause injury, but deserves to die for LIVING in an area we wanted to engage in recreation. Monsters...are they below the surface or above it?

Shark attack! In an ironic twist of fate, a shark advocate and filmmaker was savagely attacked by sharks. Video footage captures the horrific moment. ___________________________________________________ That's what you call clickbait - the use of any headline, no matter how inaccurate, to get a reader to click on the story. The media uses the tactic unabashedly and no topic is abused worse than sharks. So why did I do it? For a few reasons. 1. To demonstrate the effectiveness 2. To provide a moment of self reflection as you realize how badly you wanted to see the carnage. We're a bit bloodthirsty eh? Even my friends probably wanted to see a little blood. And all the shark haters out there who can't stand that a provide a voice for these animals...they definitely were hoping I got killed. Let's be honest, the news wouldn't constantly show violence if we didn't tune in for it. So what's that say? 3. The word "dangerous" is used a lot in the context of sharks and I'm going to start discussing that topic in future videos. 4. MOST IMPORTANTLY I'm going to release the full video on Christmas and thought it would be a good idea to explain that particular segment of footage because what could be seen as frightening and aggressive behavior is actually a demonstration of fantastic shark behavior. Slowing down the footage shows that the shark was simply steering away from another shark and in doing so ran into me. He bounced off and moved on. In avoiding the first collision and shrugging off the second one, this shark chose non violent action in the face of conflict not only once, but twice in a matter of seconds. Maybe we can strive to be more like sharks in the new year.

#Repost @oneoceanglobal @shark_siren @apexharmony ・・・ Sad news coming from #oneoceanglobal ambassador @shark_siren from #NewSouthWales with @apexharmony regarding #sharknets. These nets have been proven ineffective and cause needless deaths of marine life while not preventing shark encounters! Follow them for more information and ways to help! ・・・ This is one of the hardest days I have encountered so far since joining the @apexharmony campaign in 2014. It was hard because my colleagues found FIVE RAYS IN ONE NET at Seven Mile Beach in Lennox Head, NSW. . 1 Eagle Ray and 4 Mobula Rays. 2 were alive, and thankfully we managed to get them released. It was a hard day to see these images of creatures which are so majestic in the water, suffer so cruelly in nets which do nothing to protect ocean users. It's also hard because the NSW and QLD Governments publicly have stated that they won't be removing them, with the support of Ballina Shire Council. Along with Federal "Environment" Minister Josh Frydenberg, ignoring extensive advice and evidence as shown in the released senate inquiry report. But as hard as it may be.. we won't give up. For the oceans 💙🦈🐳🐠 📷:@apexharmony #ballina #lennoxhead #evanshead #nsw #northcoast #tourism #breakingnews #news #seashepherd #rays #ocean #marinelife #conservation #givenetstheflick

Part of the memorabilia on display at the Natal Sharks Board Museum is a clipping celebrating the slaughter of "raggy tooth sharks". The sand tiger shark (also known as ragged tooth / grey nurse shark) is one of the species most drastically affected by shark nets. This animal poses no threat to humans, but like many other non-target animals, is indiscriminately killed in the nets. Often found dwelling in or near caves, these slow-moving sharks made easy targets for would-be "heroes", showing off their "deadly" trophies when they returned to shore. Illegal fishing and shark cull gear compete for first place in the threat to the existence of these endangered animals both in Australian and South African waters. Adding insult to injury, the Sharks Board declare themselves a conservation company even as they push many species toward extinction. ________________________ #sharkcull #natalsharksboard #nosharkcull #sharktruth #monsters #monstersfilm #shark #sharkextinction #sharknets #drumlines #durban #blackdecember #wsv #whitesharkvideo ________________________________________ Primary underwater footage shot by @ollie_putnam Interview footage by @danabbottsharks And a couple of shark clips in there also by Dan and Skyler :)
