Sharks and marine conservation talk in Wellington
Sharks and marine conservation talk in Wellington this weekend
With up to a thousand triangular white teeth in a body that can weigh up to 2.500 tonnes, the great white shark is one of the scariest animals in New Zealand waters.
But do great whites deserve their fearsome reputation as a ruthless killer?
Shark ambassadors Kathryn Hodgson and Nicholas Curzon are experienced great white shark guide divers and biologists from the UK.
They’re in Wellington this weekend to share their shark experiences and to talk about marine conservation as part of a tour that has taken them around New Zealand and the world, raising awareness about the plight of sharks, and great white sharks in particular.
The shark enthusiasts will be giving two talks this Saturday 11 July at Octopus HQ, Marine Education Centre, The Esplanade, Island Bay. The first session is for kids at 1.45 -3pm and for adults at 3.15-4.15.
Entry is by gold coin donation.
Great white sharks are protected in New Zealand waters and New Zealand recently banned shark finning in our waters.
