    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 I began snorkelling at the age of 7 and was a keen spear fisherman and surfer for decades although I am currently no longer active in these sports.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.

Dipper Occasional Paper of the IUCN Species Survival Commission No. 25 IUCN The World Conservation Union Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Programme and Elasmobranch Biodiversity, Conservation and Management: Proceedings of the International Seminar and Workshop, Sabah, Malaysia, July 1997 The IUCN/Species Survival Commission is committed to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, decision-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.

    10 July 2020 The SA Marine Parks Review Department for Environment and Water GPO Box 1047 Adelaide SA 5001 By email: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam Submission to the South Australian Marine Parks Review Conservation Council SA is an independent, non-profit and strictly non-party political organisation representing around 60 of South Australia’s environment and conservation organisations and their 90,000 members. The Pew Charitable Trusts is a non-government organisation which seeks practical science-based conservation policy outcomes developed with stakeholders and community that work for people and nature. Pew is proud to have had the opportunity to contribute for over a decade to the development and ongoing management of SA’s Marine Parks Network. We are pleased to have the opportunity to respond to this review. However, we do not accept that this constitutes the statutory 10-year Review. The marine waters off the southern coast of Australia contain an unusually high level of endemism as well as species richness and are recognised as a global marine biodiversity ‘hotspot’. The creation of 83 new sanctuary zones within 19 marine parks around the state was the product of 20 years of research and planning and one of the largest and most comprehensive consultation processes in the state’s history. The marine park network contributes to the long-term ecological viability of marine and estuarine systems, the maintenance of ecological processes and systems, and the protection of South Australia's marine biodiversity. Sanctuary zones are considered to be the key zone type for protection and conservation of biodiversity within the marine parks network due to their high level of protection from threatening processes.
