Proof! Grey Nurse sharks are not endangered in NSW!!!
This short clip shows +30 GNS within a small area. on this day I counted +150 sharks in this secret location within a 30min period(this was not in a GNS critical habitat zone!!!) Most of these sharks sighted were baby sharks swiming along side some heavily pregnant, larger, female sharks.
When will the Government/Fisheries Listen to the facts??!!!

  • is the video at blackrock spent 2 days there a little over a month ago and counted at least 35 gns with out leaving the northen side.maybe they will have to convince the public that the red mowie is in danger lol.

  • no it wasn't at BR but I have seen a few around that area in the past. it was a bit further south down the coast...i think spearos are more in dangered these days than the GNS LOL

  • i am happy to see they are wrong, thanks for the video Timmy. NSYGs rock, you guys will have to have a trip to Rarotonga sometime!

  • Yeah sounds grat mate, i'll hit you up when we decide to come over! it would be an awesome trip!!

  • Not endangered? 30+ sharks seen at an aggregation site in no way shows that any species is back to normal levels and is free from extinction threats. Anyone who claims such a thing is an idiot with a hidden agenda.

  • Where was Timmy Jaws when you needed him LOL

  • simon ur a dick go back to adreano

  • i cant see how i helps in anyway other than to try to stir the pot.

    size of sharks?, Sex of sharks? any form of markings? location? ect.

    the only proof here is that youtube is a great place to dribble sh,t back and forth.

  • hey mate telling him that we all have to work together is fine but telling him his video dont mean shit is outrageous.that video is exactly what we should all be doing documenting how many where and when what time etc thats the kind of docs that help decide on world numbers. so maybe he isnt helping in your eyes but thats your say

  • no offence though, posting a video of a dozen or so sharks and saying proof gns are not endangered don't mean shit.

    saying greens are a joke (keep spearfishing alive) means shit.

    that is the mentality that will destroy the sport. Everyone needs to work together greens fishermen scuba and spearos.

  • Grey Nurse are highly endangered, theyhave the lowest reproductive rate of any shark and makes it more susceptible to external pressures that increase mortality.habitat sites are often favoured fishing sites, divers have observed a large number of the sharks with hooks and lines in their mouths. Some survive the injuries they sustain from fishing gear, but many don't. Shark nets and habitat destruction add further presure

  • its because they are shuting down good fishing grounds and useing gns as the excuss or reason for doing so

  • Ok. non-fisherman here. But i am curious. why do we need proof gns are not endangered. Do people want to hunt them again or is it just because they are still on the list?

    I honestly have no idea what is going on.

  • hey timmy have any tips for tacking coral trout as me and the newy crew will be doing a virgin run at swaines on the mv booby bird in early may. and any over tips would be hugly appreciated ie gear and spares

    thanks
