During the Ocean Lover's Festival we coordinate an annual grey nurse shark censuses where we ask swimmers and divers to share any sightings of grey nurse sharks. We want to use this data to help inform appropriate strategies to ensure their survival. Please check out our Events page to register.
Valerie Taylor, world renowned underwater film maker, conservationist and pioneer of grey nurse shark protection is behind this initiative. She has asked that the diving community come together in this citizen science project to help researchers gather insights of grey nurse sharks. Learn more about Valerie's work here.
Please upload any photograph you take of a grey nurse shark to Spot A Shark. This online tools uses AI to identify and track individual animals, so we increase our understanding of the population, their range and condition over time. You'll get notified via email when a shark you've seen is photographed again.
