Shark Spotters is a pioneering shark safety and research organisation that has attracted international attention because of the novel way they pro-actively reduce interactions and conflict between recreational water users and white sharks.
Shark Spotters improves beach safety by applying innovative and responsible shark safety solutions that reduce the spatial overlap between people and sharks, thereby reducing the risk of a shark bite. We also provide emergency response in the event of a shark incident, as well as conduct cutting-edge applied research on shark behaviour and ecology, raise awareness about shark safety and conservation issues, and provide employment opportunities and skills development for shark spotters.
The funds received from Co-Exist projects will be used to support the sustainability of the Shark Spotters Acoustic Telemetry network in False Bay.
We’re delighted to support Shark Spotters to help expand their current research programme to tag even more shark and ray species in False Bay, South Africa
