Some more whale action off the Fleurieu Peninsula, this afternoon, captured by the Amphibian-like, AmBer Everett! 🙌

The sole Humpback was last seen travelling in a Northeasterly direction around 300m from shore. That’s one way to get the excitement going on a Monday 😎

Captured some clips of whales, yourself? Send them in!

We would like thank our network of followers and several members of local surfing associations around SA. Put plainly, you have become our greatest asset and a voice to local and rural councils and communities in the state of South Australia, as we seek to implement change for the way we handle and present shark related matters in our great state, for the benefit of all.

Presently, we stand underfunded, under-resourced, and under-supported by the state government and Surf Lifesaving South Australia who have continually failed to accept our humble requests to work together, but we acknowledge that our ethos far outweighs reliance upon these organisations and look forward to the future as we continue building a great relationship with water users all over the state.

Since our establishment in 2014, SWSA has evolved its scope of work tremendously, and that’s credit to our viral social media presence and zeal to follow a multi-faceted approach towards shark bite mitigation. We have done this by onboarding talented members of the community and developed a four pillar pathway to establish a three year plan to drive shark safety and build on core values to safely keep South Aussies co-existent with our marine ecosystems.

While we may deliver correspondents and post content that would appear to be somewhat connected to a government marine department or agency, our project is assisted by just three members of the community (Founder, Anton Covino, volunteer, Amber Everett, and volunteer Liam Kress) who are all on their own journey and growing everyday for the greater good, devoting whatever spare time they have to build on their professions outside of their day-jobs.

While managing SW gets exhausting at times, Anton is extremely grateful for everybody’s support around the state, including past and present volunteers and the many different contributors who have generously given their expertise to help place SWSA in a great position for the future.

By taking notes from the Shark Smart Program being implemented in other states, we see SWSA following suit in coming years, even if that means remaining independent and separate from government involvement.
