18/04/13 Shark Week
This last week
we covered a lot of shark awareness topics, which was kind of fitting as the
weekend before a group of us did a shark dive in the south of the island. It
was an awesome experience, we swam with around seven grey reef sharks for
almost an hour.
During shark
week GVI arranged for a guy from Seychelles Fishing Authority to come in and
talk to us about the efforts in place in the Seychelles to conserve sharks
around the island.
It was really
cool to learn about the drastic effects of shark decimation on coral reefs and
why they play such a crucial role in the ecosystems of marine life.
New volunteers
arrived this last weekend, and this week has been getting to know them, show
them the ropes of camp life and things like that.
personally, I
have started my fish methodology and am beginning the ocean surveys this week
which I am super excited for.
Diving two times
a day in this amazing place, couldn't ask for more.
