We already knew that a campaign is currently being carried out by the Research and Development Institute to better understand the behavior of sharks following the attacks that took place in Reunion. But recently the FFESSM through its Regional Committee Reunion Island actively participates by funding the shark tagging operation.
How? 'Or' What ? By making funds available to the Committee which allow two freedivers Frédéric Buyle and William Winram (volunteers) to carry out this marking operation using crossbows…. and obviously without using bait! They are also in charge of training local freedivers to repeat this type of operation.
Why ? The goal is to restore confidence to the population and to tourists to practice all water activities.

Let us salute this initiative which will allow, hopefully, to change the view we have of sharks… man-eaters !!!

Thank you Ozi-Izo!
Yes the site will soon be translated into French and I hope then in other languages ;-). But as you say it's a lot of work! Thank you for your first feedback and I look forward to reading the rest of your impressions! Good luck for the job ;-).
