Shark nets are out of the water for another season. This is only a short reprieve from the destruction of outdated and useless shark nets before they’re returned to beaches next summer. Help us get the #NetsOutNow at: bit.ly/3NJ5eBS

Four new species on the voyage including a deepwater catshark, ghost shark and two rays.

Local conservation groups have urged the community to keep an eye out for injured wildlife, after witnessing “devastating scenes” along the Ningaloo coastline in the aftermath of the storm.

It’s time to ditch the myth: shark culling doesn’t make our beaches safer. Based on scientific evidence, the real solution is investing in proven, non‑lethal tech like drones and barrier nets, plus smarter ocean safety education.

Microplastics in shark eggs!? It was assumed these microplastics were ingested later in life not before a shark was ‘born’. Sharks are already under pressure from overfishing, habitat loss and climate change — now plastic pollution. www.marineconservation.org.au/.../give_fla...

Australia mapped into global sharks and rays database - @charlesdarwinuni.bsky.social www.cdu.edu.au/news/austral...

"The analysis, posted last month... finds that, when researchers look at some ‘ultra-conserved’ parts of the genome, a peculiar family of sharks called Hexanchiformes might be part of an evolutionary lineage that is distinct from the group that includes all other sharks, as well as skates and rays."

#News! 🦈 The Charles Darwin Foundation is now a Cooperating Partner to the CMS Sharks MOU. 🌍 This global agreement strengthens international collaboration to conserve migratory sharks and rays using science-based action. 🔬 Find out more below 👇

A shark alert has been issued for Preston Beach south of Mandurah with a whale carcass floating near shore.

We know, there has been multiple evidence collected that City Beach is a very popular spot for land base shark fishing. I'm pleased to see this council being proactive, why wait until it's too late. Lisa Jane Hills Shark Safety WA

Approved clearing of an area 10 times the size of Sydney’s CBD in the Northern Territory’s Daly River region for sorghum, cotton and other crops - all without an assessment under Australia’s nature laws.

Sharks have a superpower — they can sense tiny electric fields in the water. Now scientists are using that against accidental catch. By coating fishing hooks with cheap zinc and graphite, researchers can generate a small electric field that nudges sharks away from the bait.

If the @media want a shark story there is another mutilated hammerhead shark under Ammo Jetty again left by the LBSF idiots.

It’s time to reframe our thinking - because apex predators are not just nice to have, they are essential to thriving ecosystems. 🐊🦈🐕

While on a recent expedition to Bremer Canyon, Whale Watch Western Australia encountered 4 Antarctic orcas, a rare sighting of this ecotype in Australian waters. The newcomers grabbed lunch from the local orcas who had just taken down a beaked whale. perthisok.com/news/antarct...

A video showing a critically endangered sawfish lying dead on a beach with its saw removed is described as "cruel" and "trophy hunting".

DNA testing on more than 16,000 fins in Hong Kong, the world’s largest shark fin market, found the species appearing 70 times more often than what governments reported. In only three years, traders trafficked fins from over 36,000 illegally caught oceanic whitetip sharks. time.com/7362449/shar...

Decision comes amid growing concerns of mercury exposure and the devastating impact shark fishing has on ocean ecosystems. By removing shark meat from school menus, Rio is protecting students’ health while also sending a clear message that safeguarding ocean life matters.

More media supporting shark hunting www.news.com.au/technology/s...

12 years ago when Ricky Gervais supported our No WA Shark Cull campaign. Never under estimate what a determined group of people can do.

Nearly half of Australia's 331 species of shark and ray are endemic - that is, they aren’t found anywhere else in the world. Industrialised fishing in south-eastern Australian waters is pushing many unique species to extinction creating a real risk we’ll lose these species.

A local swimmer has called for emergency shark bite kits to be installed at beaches in Perth and WA. Each kit costs $120 and contains tourniquets large dressings compression bandages a thermal blanket amputated parts bag whistle gloves and step-by-step shark bite management instructions.

Carnarvon residents have noticed a string of marine animals washing up on beaches with stab and cut wounds on their bodies. Critically endangered sawfish have been found with rostrums removed. Authorities are investigating www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

So this idiot decides to go shark fishing next to a jetty and where people were swimming. Absolute stupid behaviour.

Some common sense for a change.
