2-day White Shark Volunteering

South Africa has long been known for its abundance of Great White Sharks, making it a prime area to observe these magnificent creatures, now a protected species in South Africa. Owing to massive negative media publicity over the years, sharks have become one of the most maligned, misunderstood, even hated species on our fragile planet. They have been pursued, hunted and indiscriminately slaughtered, to the point where many species are endangered. The Great White Shark Project is dedicated to the exploration and conservation of the world's greatest predator and its environment. The project works with students, eco-tourists, conservation organizations and marine resource users to gather data on Great White Sharks, correct negative misconceptions about sharks, and stop the needless slaughter of over 100 million sharks annually. Current programs involve eco-tourism, public education, environmental advocacy as well as various social up- liftment programmes. White Shark Projects is a world leading organisation focusing on the Great White Shark. White Shark Projects has taken the lead to establish shark tourism as an educational experience. "Everything we do we aim to do in harmony with nature and the environment we are working in.”
