Amanda Brewer is not only a shark conversationist but also a Go pro photograoher of these stunning animals, these images taken in Mossel Bay, South Africa with an eco tourism company called White Shark Africa and feature juvenile great white sharks. Amanda says " Many of the sharks seen in the photos and videos are regulars around seal island and we know them well", The female shark seen breaching out of the water is named "Blackgill", and is easily the most impressive shark we've ever met. (Sharkservation) which takes and shares these photos to get people interested in learning about sharks in hopes that we can protect them. On average, 100,000,000 sharks are being killed every single year for profit. This is an unsustainable rate and we see extinction in the near future for many large species of shark if nothing is done soon. In my time with the white shark I've learned that they each have an individual and distinct personality and they are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. I have a life long passion for these animals and I hope to play a role in securing their well deserved, perfectly evolved, presence here on earth.

Un concept de lumières LED sous les planches de surf pour éviter les attaques de requins
Picture MUST credit: Macquarie University A way to save surfers from shark attacks could be to put LED light strips under their boards.Researchers from Australia have previously discovered that great white sharks place a high reliance on their eyes to locate prey. They spot something near the surface - typically a seal - and lunge upwards to take it in their jaws. It is thought great whites are probably completely colour blind with poor visual acuity. But they are good at detecting a silhouette.Biologists Professor Nathan Hart and colleague Dr Laura Ryan from Macquarie University in Sydney say the silhouette of a surfboard or a human in the water looks similar to a seal which is a key reason why great whites pose such a danger to people. They decided to see if they could disguise a silhouette on the water surface using lights so that the shark would be unable to detect detail. Picture supplied by JLPPA

Brazil's appetite for shark meat puts species under threat.
One of the biggest consumers in a global market worth an estimated £2bn, trade in the cheap fish in the south American country is booming. But worried conservationists say most people do not realise they are eating shark.
Research published in April found that 83% of the shark and ray species sold in Brazil were threatened, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification.
For years, conservation efforts focused on the fin trade with Asia and the barbaric practice of "finning" - removing a shark's fins and returning the wounded and helpless animal, to the sea. But research from earlier this year suggests restrictions on finning have not reduced shark mortality, with at least 80 million sharks still being killed annually.
"Meat was kind of left by the wayside," says Prof Aaron MacNeil, of Canada's Dalhousie University, who is researching the global shark meat trade. "It's only now we're realising how big the trade is. Its value has certainly exceeded that of fins."

Brazil's appetite for shark meat puts species under threat.
One of the biggest consumers in a global market worth an estimated £2bn, trade in the cheap fish in the south American country is booming. But worried conservationists say most people do not realise they are eating shark.
Research published in April found that 83% of the shark and ray species sold in Brazil were threatened, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification.
For years, conservation efforts focused on the fin trade with Asia and the barbaric practice of "finning" - removing a shark's fins and returning the wounded and helpless animal, to the sea. But research from earlier this year suggests restrictions on finning have not reduced shark mortality, with at least 80 million sharks still being killed annually.
"Meat was kind of left by the wayside," says Prof Aaron MacNeil, of Canada's Dalhousie University, who is researching the global shark meat trade. "It's only now we're realising how big the trade is. Its value has certainly exceeded that of fins."

Brian McNeill Ireland's last basking shark hunter on the return of the giants.
For 30 years, Brian McNeill hunted the world's second-biggest fish from small boats off the wild west coast of Ireland. Now the species has made a recovery so rapid it has astounded scientists.
