The Great Fiji Shark Count

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 6 October, 2012 : - - The seas around the islands of Fiji are teaming with ocean life, and lots of sharks! From tourism operators, adventurers, marine researchers, coastal fishermen, deep sea anglers, anyone with a love for the blue and the wonders living in it, it was a time to check who is alive down there, and how many.

The Great Fiji Shark Count an initiative of Fiji tourism operators and organised by Helen Sykes, the co-ordinator of Fiji Coral Reef Monitoring Network will be held in 2012 and again in November. Helen stated: “We’ll count the sharks, rays and turtles during diving, snorkelling, fishing trips or on boat voyages and contribute to shark research and protection.”

The event follows on the heels of another of her work, the Great Fiji Butterflyfish Count in 2008-2009.
