Hi everyone
The great news is that Datuk Masidi Minister of Tourism and the Director of Wildlife are going to present a plan to the parliment in July to ban shark fishing in Sabah.

1 Ministry will support the JCI-Tanjung Aru / Green Connection Anti shark fin campain

2 Ministry will arrange a high level government meeting to discuss how to best protect sharks in Sabah.

3 Ministry is very concerned at the serious reduction in number of sharks over the past two decades.

4 The Ministry will bring the recommendations to the Dewan at the next available opportunity.

5 The Minister will try to get Sharks protected within this year

6 The Ministry support JCI approaches to Hotels to politely put a message which says that each hotel is on the Green list for supporting Sabah efforts to protect endangered sharks.

7 NO means NO – The goal for the Campain, No Shark fin at all to be sold in Sabah

Updates will be posted to

HELP WANTED

If anyone has dive observations of sharks – number seen, dive location, hours underwater, when

I have detailed data for Banggi and Tip of Borneo, over 2000 dives per year for 5 years 1997-2002

I have great data 1996 & 97 (min 6 hr each site, 362 sites around Sabah), good data 2001 & 2002 and reasonable data 2009 & 2010

simple data is better than none  Please send to me

More is better, dig out your dive logs!

Sipadan, Mabul, Kapali, any fish surveys or counts of sharks I have 45 1h fish surveys in 1997

Liz you have done the most work on Sipadan, Any old data on numbers of sharks seen in a dive would be fantasitic.  I have data from Layang layang which we can use as a baseline, data from Sipadan in the 80’s or 90’s will also give a baseline of how many have gone.

We are going to need evidence to prove that shark numbers are falling.  I have a lot of data but more is better.  If you can please help.

We also need market records especially for kudat ( I have weekly data for 5 years) 1997-2002

Please forward to everyone who has done a lot of dives, Dive masters or scientists, we don’t need species, simple numbers will do.

The minimum useful data is who, sharks seen, where and when preferably with hours underwater

and the negative data is as useful as the positive, so please send data that you didn’t see sharks on XX dives and you saw 1 sharks on 2 dives 

Or data like Liz Woods, no sharks seen in Tun Sarakan Marine Park

or I have data from dive masters like 143 dives TARP, 2009,2010 no sharks seen. 6-20m

Or the Mike Horn expedition which only saw sharks at lankayan

An email will do, – a spreadsheet of data is better

simple data can be uploaded to http://sharks-sabah.wikispaces.com/Shark+sightings+table

Will try to keep everyone informed but the two facebook pages will get the news first.
