For many years sharks, and other marine animals, have been the silent victims of our insatiable greed. A devastating lack of foresight, responsibility and awareness from governments and the general public has left the oceans, once thought to be an inexhaustible source, in a fragile state.
It is no surprise that people often miss identify these three species of whipray, all of which can be found along the east coast of South Africa. Available information can be unclear and contradictory due to a lack of comprehensive research on the species.
Sharklife has successfully conducted a number of RUV (remote underwater video) surveys this week assessing ragged-tooth shark movements.
