News from White Shark Africa in Mosselbay South Africa
So what’s going down in Mossel Bay? Since last November, Marine and Coastal Management extended White Shark Africa’s operational area to include two additional chumming sites further east along the coast. This was done after extensive research which revealed that the sharks were spending the winter months around the Seal Island in the bay and the summer months a little further along the coast towards the Grootbrak River.
Since this extension came into effect, White Shark Africa has had only two trips where sharks were not sighted which makes Mossel Bay the best area in the world to encounter great white sharks. This has also allowed White hark Africa to expand its operations to include a Student Educational Program which is a dedicated shark research and conservation department. The SEP is managed by Mike Ladley who has been part of the team since 1998 and its primary objectives are to tag a number of local shark species, record a list of data and promote shark conservation. The program is open to marine biology, zoology and media students wishing to acquire hands on experience in the world of sharks.
As of the end of May 2010, White Shark Africa will be running its new filming department which includes video recordings of daily shark cage diving excursions. Clients embarking on the shark dives will now be able to purchase a DVD of their exiting great white shark experience.
With the looming soccer world cup just days away, White Shark Africa has located to larger and more comfortable premises and has also fitted new engines to the dive boat. All these improvements are aimed at making the shark trips that much more enjoyable for the clients.
