Exciting & educational Shark Week 2007

By Fish 'n Fins and the Micronesian Shark Foundation

Well another Shark Week has come and gone, and by all accounts Shark Week 2007 was one of the best yet! As well as the evening programme of talks, lectures and films there were all the thrills of the special shark dives, including early morning specials to observe the sharks hunting at the world-famous Blue Corner and other superb dive sites.

What can you say about a man that has barely survived a Great White attack and became a great ambassador for the cause of shark conservation? We call him a prophet. Our special guest of Shark Week 2007 , as you may have guessed, was Rodney Fox. Rodney is  a very special man, who comes complete with lots of scars and some of the most fascinating stories you could imagine. Our main scientist for 2007 was Dr Mark Meekan from AIMS,  who will be returning for the 2008 week and who is planning to start the first shark satellite tagging research program in Palau. As well as the experts our international group of highly enthusiastic divers from all walks of life managed to breathe, dive and sleep sharks for the whole week.

The Micronesian Shark Foundation has now launched its regional ties and is in contact with the islands of Yap, Pohnpei, Kosrae and Chuuk. Selected dive operators are working closely with the Foundation, collecting and reporting extremely valuable data about the local shark populations. This data gathering is scheduled to continue for a period of at least two years. 

Shark Week is specially planned to take place during the shark mating season, where numbers of big predators come in close to the reef to fulfil their biological imperative and create the baby sharks who will hopefully go on to become the stars of future shark weeks! So if you fancy a close-up look at some of natures most beautiful and specialized predators then start your planning now – Shark Week 2008 will take place from March 27th – April 2nd 2008 and we’d love to see you here!
