Wallabies visit Shark Park

The Wallabies had a great day at Shark Park yesterday and fun was had by all.

On a more sombre not a baby Humpback Whale who was visibly in trouble from Sunday washed up in the same location yesterday and had to be euthanaised.

Blue Wilderness teams back from almost five months on the road!

The team at Blue Wilderness are back home after nearly five months on the road - or in our case literlally at sea!

The team have been involved in various expeditions and films. These projects have ranged from a jetski expedition around the coast of South Africa in order to raise funds and awareness for cancer. This project was undertaken for Cancer South Africa and sponsored by Acer Computers and Spar as well as many other fantastic and willing partners. The team have travelled from Capetown to Bassas da India on various film projects and research initiatives. The orphans day at Shark Park was a highlight for Blue Wilderness and the participation of the Shark Angels gave the kids huge insight and inspiration for the the future. The highlight of the day was the shark dive with the sharks of Shark Park with the Shark Angels team headed by Julie Andersen.

Sharksboard declare war on Sardine Run 2010!!

Sharksboard have declared war on Sardine Run 2010 by buying more nets and using additional boats to kill sharks over the World Cup showpiece. This flies in the face of South Africa's Tourism authority who added sharks and whales to South Africa's terrestrial "Big Five" last year in an effort to encourage tourists to the soccer showpiece to view South Africa's marine splendour. Sharksboard will kill thousands of sharks, rays and dolphins that follow the sardine shoals at this time of year if they don't take out their nets and drumlines. Public pressure has forced them to do this in the past but they seem hell bent on circumventing the public to continue their murderous spree for financial gain.

Shark Route teams still getting blown about!

The Shark Route teams in the Cape have been blasted by the late south easterly winds and are having a torrid time. The teams at Shark Park have fared better and record setting freedive instructor Hanli Prinsloo is back conducting her freedive courses. The freedive crew had a phenomenal day with tiger, blacktip and a lone bull shark.

Shark Route teams get blown off water but Shark Park rocks!

The teams on Shark Route have had some good diving when conditions have allowed but have also suffered at the hands of big winds. Their Shark Park counterparts have been spoiled with an endless string of whale shark sightings.

Shark Park teams have a great December of diving with the Sharks of Shark Park:

The Shark Park teams mourned the loss of a member of the "Tiger Tribe" on Boxing day but have had amazing diving none the less. See there full report at http://sharkparksa.blogspot.com/

Christmas and another of our Tiger Tribe dies and unnecessary and violent death:

Another tiger shark was caught in the Scottburgh shark nets. For the report see http://sharkparksa.blogspot.com/

Shark park teams struggle with conditions but the stars keep rolling in!

The team at Shark Park have played host to a number of natural history celebrities again but conditions have meant that the going has been tough. See their full report on http://sharkparksa.blogspot.com/
