Grey Nurse Shark Watch

Grey Nurse Shark Watch Grey Nurse Shark Watch is a Queensland-based project working to monitor & protect these endangered and iconic sharks.

Grey Nurse Shark Watch (http://www.reefcheckaustralia.org/grey-nurse-shark-watch.html) is a community grey nurse shark photographic identification monitoring program. It is designed to capture data on grey nurse shark numbers, movements and distribution during different stages of their life cycle throughout their range in both Queensland and New South Wales marine regions. It will do this by monit

oring individual grey nurse sharks, which can be identified by their unique spot patterns, over time. The photographic identification monitoring program is designed to monitor the recovery of the Australian east coast population of grey nurse sharks and to assist in the identification of critical areas for sharks in different stages of their life cycle. This program aims to ultimately lead to the improved conservation of this important species. Photographs submitted by divers and fishers will contribute to a national database on the grey nurse shark that will be shared with stakeholders, researchers and managers. Public access to data will also be facilitated, to allow Grey Nurse Shark Watch contributors to see their own sightings as well as those of others.
