SUPPORT THE RESEARCH

This research will provide a valuable contribution to the limited knowledge of tiger shark demographics in south east Queensland , and attempt to assess why tiger shark catches in this region have significantly decreased over the last 5 years. The research has significant implications for the wider community, including fisheries management, conservation, and bather safety.

Due to the expensive satellite tags needed to conduct the research, we require significant funding in the form of cash and in-kind support. We currently have some support/sponsorship from the following industry and government bodies:

— Department of Primary Industries & Fisheries — Sea World Research & Rescue Foundation — Caloundra City Council — The University of Queensland — Noosa City Council — Ripcom Telecommunications — Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD — Your Baby Needs …however, we still need your support!!
