HIs wife said “An avid fisherman and spearfisherman, who lived and breathed the ocean, he was always in tune with the sea."

The man who died after he was bitten by a shark off the coast of Rottnest Island at the weekend has been identified as a prolific spearfisher and was taking part in a small scale spearfishing competition between friends.

Captain Paul Watson Direct Action in Antarctica Leads To EU Parliament Call for 5 Year Suspension on Krill Fishing We didn’t wait. We didn’t debate. We didn't just take photos. We took action.

Drone photographers captured stunning images of a tiger shark feeding off the carcass off the coast of Mandurah.

A swarm of highly venomous box jellyfish has been sighted along WA's Pilbara coast. "It's not yet named and classified, but this is the one that I've been trying to find."

"By putting an electric field in the fins, that creates a field around surfboards that can confuse the sharks rather than attract them," Professor in het Panhuis said.

Handy reminder on spear fishing attracting sharks

Ocean Reef The encounter was reported by a member of the public at about 9.10am after the spear fisher’s fin was bitten by the shark while diving 6km offshore.

This is not a shark rescue. This is a prohibited species in Florida. These fishermen intentionally target them by chopping up rays and small sharks and flying chunks of bait offshore with drones. They illegally drag protected species onto the beach for social media content. Many of them die.

Scientists discover over 100 new species deep below Australian sea: 'We need to understand … before it's lost': A 35-day deep-sea expedition in Australia's Coral Sea Marine Park has led to the discovery of over 100 new species, including unique sharks, rays, and fish.… https://ranked.news/569272?u=b

The Maldives has served as a shark sanctuary for 15 years, and is now one of the most diverse regions for sharks & rays. But with great success comes a new problem: conflict with humans. In this episode of #WoS, Mina Hatayama talks about this conflict through an ecological & social science lens.

Hawaii became the 1st U.S. state to ban intentionally killing Sharks after the Governor David Ige signed the law. The law can into effect on January 1st 2022. There is no excuse for #AnimalAbuse EVER!

Among those species are some of the ocean’s most imperilled creatures. The critically endangered giant guitarfish, the endangered zebra shark, and at least three vulnerable seahorse species all appear in trawl catch records.

@CaptPaulWatson Crew wanted for The Bandero

In a world-first, swabs of skin microbes can be used as a non-invasive health tracker for the endangered freshwater sawfish. For over a decade Malak Malak Rangers have led hand-relocating juvenile sawfish from drying and isolated billabongs back to the main river channel.

Massive krill supertrawler Aker BioMarine is vacuuming up the ocean’s most vital species for Swisse’s krill oil supplements. We support the courageous crew of the Bandero for their commitment to protecting from the destructive krill fishing fleet. @BobBrownFndn @CaptPaulWatson

Chilean Navy warned Bandero our presence in Antarctic waters is prohibited citing hypothetical risks to human life and potential environmental harm. The facts • No lives were endangered. • No pollution occurred. • No legal basis exists for Chile’s interference. @CaptPaulWatson

They are on the run from THE BANDERO!! They are headed toward the Coronation Island and we are chasing them. Stay tuned as KRILL WARS CONTINUE We will END krill trawling in Antarctica ANTARCTICA, KRILL WARS ERUPT, AKER RETREATS

Aker Qrill's two giant trawlers leave the fishing area after new altercations yesterday where Bandero interrupted their fishing for several hours. The Chilean press talks about Bandero disobeying the Chilean Navy who have no jurisdiction in Antarctica. Captain Paul Watson Foundation

Fremantle Bathers Beach Useless net that has been installed and doesn't reach the floor (images from yesterday) Shark Safety WA advised the council that the www.ecosharkbarrier.com.au is a safer option and installed at other beaches The one installed was $100k more

Not April Fools A new study suggests relocating tiger sharks away from beaches could temporarily reduce the risk of shark bites.

Scientists, campaigners, and influential voices are standing together to say: enough is enough. Swisse cannot keep profiting at the expense of the Antarctic ecosystem.

Antarctica 31 March 2026 The Captain Paul Watson Foundation crew led by campaign leader Lamya Essemlali aboard Bandero carried out a direct intervention targeting industrial krill trawler operated by Aker Qrill the largest harvester of Antarctic krill www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/breaking-new...

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...
