  • Shark Cage Diving Decision a Win for Paua Divers
    Shark cage diving decision a win for paua divers When word came through that the Court of Appeal had ruled in favour of New Zealand paua divers in their case against shark cage diving near Stewart Island, the reaction was one of jubilance. From the distant and isolated Faroe Islands, midway between Iceland and Norway, Paua MAC5 Chairman Storm Stanley couldn’t contain his excitement, despite no working phone. His emails expressed his utter relief at the decision. And, why wouldn’t he? New Zealand’s paua divers have been attempting to get shark cage diving shut down for years, and it is not because they are anti-business. It is because the activity poses such a risk to their divers that they won’t even put them in the water. There are two commercial cage diving companies operating around the Titi islands, a cluster of small islands located a short distance off the Stewart Island mainland. The islands are a rich paua source, only harvested by free dive and never with tanks, but also a rich source of food, in the way of seals, for the Great White shark. During the summer months the Titi Islands are home to a large population of seals and, in turn, attract a large population of Great White sharks. These are monster predators, growing up to six metres in length. They are cautious beasts, known to circle and identify prey before attacking. Despite the similarities between a seal and a wetsuit-clad paua diver, there have been no attacks on paua divers for 20 years but two minor attacks on others have been recorded.

  • Shark Mitigation and Deterrent Measures Submission 64
    The Efficacy and Regulation of Shark Mitigation and Deterrent Measures Submission to: Senate Environment and Communications References Committee by Peter Stephenson BSc., ADAS 2815.3, Master Class V February 2017 As a commercial diver and fisherman with over 35 years of diverse experience I write this submission due to my ever-increasing concerns about policies governing management of and research into shark populations. I began snorkelling at the age of 7 and was a keen spear fisherman and surfer for decades although I am currently no longer active in these sports. (partly due to increasing negative shark incidents) I have a BSc. In marine science from Flinders University and have completed a number of years of marine research. Over more than four decades I have spent tens of thousands of hours observing and studying the marine environment. In recent years, particularly after my friends Peter Clarkson and Greg Pickering were attacked by white sharks, I have been researching shark attacks, shark behaviour and the possible factors influencing negative shark/ human interactions. I have also witnessed aggressive shark behaviour first hand but have luckily escaped serious injury…. so far. I currently work as an abalone diver in the South Australian Central Zone Abalone Fishery. THIS IS A MAJOR WORKPLACE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME! THE BAITING AND HARASSMENT OF SHARKS FOR TOURISM AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Despite legislation deeming the berleying, baiting, approach and harassment of white sharks illegal, governments grant exemptions and licences to tourism operators and scientists to conduct these activities. Despite years of research and observation, the level of conditioning of sharks by repeated berleying and baiting is still poorly understood and documented.

  • EWT Perspective on Baited Shark Cage Diving
    Endangered Wildlife Trust Perspective on Baited Shark Diving The Endangered Wildlife Trust’s (EWT) mission is to conserve threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa to the benefit of all people. This statement represents the EWT’s position on the practice of baited shark diving. As a legal practice that falls within the ambit of a non-consumptive utilisation of sharks, we recognise that the baited shark diving industry contributes to both the country’s economy and the tourism sector. Even so, and despite protection measures, sharks are still vulnerable to consumptive exploitation by humans. This concern is compounded by recent research that shows both extremely low, and declining numbers of Great White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in South Africa’s waters. Given several contentious issues that cloud the industry, the EWT does not presently support the practice of baited shark diving. What is baited shark diving? Baited shark diving refers to both the activity of a human being lowered into the sea in a protective steel cage, as well as free diving, in the close vicinity of sharks that have been attracted to a site with the use of bait. In South Africa, diving operators traditionally use chum – a mixture of minced tuna and sardines with fish oil that is mixed with seawater – to attract sharks to their boats. Cage dives typically target the Great White Shark as the marine equivalent of the ‘Big Five’ land mammals. In addition, operators may use bait lines and/or drag decoys behind their boat to lure sharks closer or entice them to breach.

  • Behavioural Responses of White Sharks to Specific Baits During Cage
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Behavioural responses of white sharks to specifc baits during cage diving ecotourism Edgar E. Becerril‑García1,2, Edgar M. Hoyos‑Padilla2,3*, Primo Micarelli4, Felipe Galván‑Magaña1 & Emilio Sperone5 This study describes the efect of diferent baits on the attraction, surface behaviour and conditioning of white sharks Carcharodon carcharias during local ecotourism activities. The sightings, behaviours, and pictures used for photographic identifcation were obtained during August to November 2012– 2014 onboard tourist boats in Guadalupe Island, Mexico. Four types of baits were used: (1) frozen bait; (2) frozen bait and natural chum; (3) fresh fsh bait; and (4) mackerel bags. Data were analysed according to sex, maturity and the total of sharks using 6,145 sightings of 121 white sharks. The type of bait showed no signifcant diference on the efectiveness to attracting sharks. Ethological analysis showed that the type of bait had a signifcant efect on the shark’s surface behaviour during its interactions with boats. Natural chum and fresh baits showed short term behavioural patterns constituted by increased number of violent interactions with the bait, while the frozen bait did not generate a defned behavioural pattern. Conditioning of white sharks was determined by the number of interactions and the consumption frequency of the bait. Fifty nine percent of sharks (n = 41) showed no conditioning, 36% (n = 25) showed a low risk and only 5% (n = 3) were found to have a high risk of conditioning. The results suggest that current ecotourism has no efect on the conditioning of the white sharks, and that all baits have a similar efectiveness for attracting the sharks.

This publication will provide an overview of This publication presents the results of several studies to these economic benefits and briefly discuss some studies determine the economic benefits of artificial reefs. It is that have attempted to measure them and highlight the intended as a helpful reference for resource managers, need for continued research. coastal community and state government agencies, reef user groups including fishers and divers, and Extension agents. The authors present findings by region, with sections on Pinellas County, Miami-Dade County, northwest Florida, southeast Florida, southwest Florida, Martin County, and the sinking of the USS Spiegel Grove (off of Key Largo), USS Oriskany (off of Pensacola), and the USS Vandenberg (off of Key West). Introduction Florida has one of the most active artificial reef programs among Gulf and Atlantic coast states. Approximately 3,750 artificial reef deployments are located off 34 coastal counties in Florida (Table 1). Although permitted by the Figure 1. Artificial Reef in Taylor County, Florida. United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Credits: Florida Sea Grant Department of Environmental Protection, artificial reefs are deployed under a set of guidelines established by the Benefits of Artificial Reefs Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Artificial reefs may be constructed for a variety of purposes, These guidelines are specified within the State of Florida each with a set of potential benefits associated with that Artificial Reef Strategic Plan (FFWCC 2003).

  • SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014
    SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014 The following information is provided to acquaint MMI cadets with opportunities in SCUBA training at the Institute. This is the second year for SCUBA lessons and open water certification at MMI. Last September the first group of MMI SCUBA Tigers started their training with Instructional Staff of Southern Skin Divers Supply (SSDS), MMI’s partner in SCUBA training and recreational diving. After four weeks of training at MMI facilities 21 Cadets earned their Scuba Schools International (SSI) Open- Water Certification during their check dives at Morrison Springs and St. Andrews Jetties, FL. After that, the newly certified divers went drift diving and swam with the Manatees (picture to the Left) in the Rainbow River and Crystal River, FL. Many took advantage of inshore wreck trips out of Panama City and then learned about the benefits of Enriched Air NITROX and harvested some Flounder in the Winter. Their progression led to diving several wrecks off the coast of Alabama and began the work of helping to eradicate the invasive lionfish population. The MMI Scuba Tigers made their final dives this Spring off the shores of Orange Beach, AL on a sunken Navy Tug followed by the air craft carrier, USS Oriskany (the “Mighty O”) which is the largest man-mad reef in the world. Do I need to be a strong swimmer to take scuba lessons? Not necessarily, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and have moderate – good swim skills. Safety always comes first in SCUBA and safe SCUBA is all about the equipment.
