Baby Great White Shark caught on Camera

Baby Great White Shark caught on Camera: the only way any great white should be captured is on camera. Enjoy a high-level presentation by the Malibu Artist. Watch to the very END!

Public indoctrination

The problem here in KZN is very similar to the problems that Africa’s beautiful snakes give rise to in the Transkei, right next door. A prevalent fear of being bitten. Plus, there is a lack of education. And ignorance. The people there burn every tree and bush throughout. For fear of snakes. This ash and topsoil is then blown away, and washed away, into all the rivers. This sediment wreaks havoc on the environment. Sandy rivers, became muddy. Clogged. The balance of the ecology in the benthic and estuarine zones are now upset completely.

Here in KZN, we have shark nets. And drum lines. Right near the surf zone. Designed to hinder, and capture, great white sharks. And other beautiful marine predators. For fear of being bitten. When nobody hardly goes swimming anyway (nets kill 24/7 – even at night and in bad weather when there isn’t a soul anywhere near the water).

The Malibu Artist

Is one of the very best channels on YouTube. This guy is so talented. And so well informed – his passion comes right through his lens and to your screen. His narration is calm and professional. Soothing almost.

He has drone footage of the many Californian great white sharks that frequent the shallows in his area. The interactions between the sharks and humans will leave you gobsmacked.

Interactions

It’s not just the humans that great whites run into at the beach. Dolphins interact with the sharks non-stop. Size plays a rather big part in who gets to dominate. And who flees the scene.

Seabirds also don’t escape the attention of the sharks. But the clean water and their wings give them a fair enough advantage.

Seeing a handful of California Yellowtail harassing a small great white and actually using its skin to rid themselves of parasites was incredibly cool! The sharks do not like this harassment at all, they are visibly annoyed in this scene.

Seaweed is surprisingly interesting to great whites?

But unfortunately, so is plastic. Those milar birthday balloons are a real problem and quite prolific too. Please stop putting plastic in the ocean!

No shark nets

But the big news here today on The Sardine News, is the fact that there is not a single shark net deployed in all of California. Not one. No drumlines either. Sure there is the odd attack. But this too can be avoided using modern technologies like sonar. And ancient technologies like exclusion nets. Neither of these systems kill sharks like the Kwazulu Natal Sharks Board does.

This is their thinking, by none other than professional shark killer Sheldon Dudley – “Although there were insufficient data for a quantitative comparison of catch rates between nets and drumlines, the results indicated that an optimal solution may be to deploy a combination of nets, using the existing 50.8 cm mesh, and drumlines, using 14/0 shark hooks.”

These guys kill like this…

“Sharks Board statistics suggest that about 500 sharks are killed in the KZN bather protection nets every year, including about 22 great whites as well as 50 ragged-tooth, 30 tiger, 12 Zambezi, 115 dusky, 70 blacktip and more than 150 hammerhead sharks.” – Wiki

This is abhorrent behaviour by a rogue state organisation. That operates like a fishery. And openly is proud of what they do – they even cut their victims up in front of school kids to keep the indoctrination flaming.

As of this moment, their website, which carries these statistics year-by-year, will not load. We absolutely trashed their Facebook page with the truth. They turned all comments off!

So I would like to ask any of you who see some truth in the work of the Malibu Artist as above, to reconsider your fear and hatred of the great white shark. And its cousins. Like the beautiful tiger shark. The bull shark. The mako…all such sleek and beautiful marine animals.

Killed for what?

I sure hope that cute little baby great white shark so well-documented by the Malibu Artist, never comes to South Africa to die with the other 20-odd white sharks that the Kwazulu Natal sharks board KILL every year.
