Dolphins are highly intelligent and social marine

Dolphins are highly intelligent and social marine mammals that feature in many of our myths and legends. They are a beautiful playful and engaging species that never fail to light up most peoples faces with a smile and fill hearts with a sense of joy . The senseless and barbaric slaughter of over 1400 white sided dolphins in the @faroeislands is beyond my comprehension. There is no reason or excuse for such mass slaughter of a wild and intelligent social creature. The locals claim it is “traditional” hunting . The scale of this slaughter would never occur before modern hi speed power boats. It’s an abhorrent disgrace and a tarnish on humanity.

Swimming with whales-while contentious my personal

Swimming with whales-while contentious my personal experience is that in small respectful groups the interaction can be just as satisfying for the whales as for the people. We have many swims where the whales approach us full of curiosity interest, and a playful attitude. In no way should whales ever be pursued or harassed.

Another Humpback whale entangled in fishing equipm

Another Humpback whale entangled in fishing equipment... this is not the whale I posted last week caught in the shark net. Our coastal waters are a literal minefield of lethal shark nets , drum lines , fish traps, shipping lanes, seismic sea floor blasting for the oil and gas industry ... make sure to check out @seano888 page for information about the fossil fuel industries plans to drill oil and gas platforms off the NSW coast. If you haven’t already please watch @envoyfilm and sign the epetition to have the barbaric shark nets removed from our beaches. Fortunately this story has a happy ending and the whale was freed 🤗🐳👌 hats off to @seaworldaus
on another note I can’t believe that this is the 4 th entanglement I have witnessed and filmed in my local waters on my doorstep in just 12 months - imagine the unknown death toll of whales worldwide offshore and on more remote coasts.... most deaths go unseen and unrecorded . Unfortunately what we do see when it washes ashore is just the tip of the iceberg.

Co existence. After hunting whales to the brink of

Co existence. After hunting whales to the brink of extinction we pulled back at the last minute. Now sharks face the same predicament. Some estimates say 90% of sharks are gone from the oceans. Sharks play a vital role in preserving biodiversity and maintaining the health of fish stocks and reef systems. Here in Australia we are running the longest continuous marine cull on the planet with our “Shark monitoring“ program- setting lethal gill nets and baited hooks on our sunny beaches since the mid 1930s. We catch whales in those beach nets too🤗and dolphins, turtles, manta rays...in fact very few marine animals caught in the nets are target species - Bull sharks, Tigers and Great Whites. The death toll of innocent animals is colossal- all for a false sense of security for swimmers who really are under no threat from sharks. Please visit @envoyfilm and sign the petition to have this outdated archaic and barbaric practice ended.

This young Humpback entangled in Queenslands leth

This young Humpback entangled in Queenslands lethal Shark control nets spent last night struggling to survive as yesterday’s rescue attempts were unsuccessful. We are about to go looking for the whale to see if it has survived the night without drowning. Queensland’s shark control program is archaic and barbaric, and the technology used is literally unchanged since its inception off Sydney in the 1930s . We have far better non lethal options in 2021 to protect swimmers and marine life. Please email the Qld Minister for Agriculture and tell him Shark Nets out Now!!! His email is Ferny.grove@parliament.Qld.gov.au Please watch @envoyfilm for the whole story and to support the change !

Young humpback trapped in the indiscriminate killing fields off Queensland beaches. How many marine animals have to die and suffer before we wake up to our stupidity ??? Express your outrage to @markfurnermp and watch @envoyfilm to take action

This Blue Whale looks like he’s smiling 😃alth

This Blue Whale looks like he’s smiling 😃although I’m not sure what he’s smiling about 🧐 it’s hard not to be pessimistic at the moment - the realities of climate change affecting weather systems and the future models are disturbing in the extreme ... World govts are continuing to pursue fossil fuels and the covid pandemic blah blah blah it’s time to make a radical shift RIGHT NOW !!!! Rethink re use recycle reengineer your reality . Be an optimist and know we can make the change because we have to! Now is the moment, maybe the Blue Whale can see the future and the future is healthy abundant oceans and lush vibrant forests
