eShark

eShark is the cornerstone project of eOceans. eShark Thailand and the Great Fiji Shark Count were initiated by the tourism industries that depend on sharks — because they love them and because people fly around the world just to see them. When populations declined it was concerning. So they reached out to Dr. Ward-Paige and set up community log books to collect data, and then co-interpreted and published together. Fiji alone sampled 592 sites, and reported 146,000 shark observations on 30,000 dives. We are continuing this work globally through eShark.
