Throughout history, amazing battles for change have been won, from women winning the right to vote, to the end of apartheid in South Africa, to unions winning the 40 hour week.
Similar principles apply to any organised attempt to change something – including environmental change. Using the lessons from successful (and unsuccessful) campaigns for change, we can achieve the seemingly impossible.
This website is an initiative of the Nature Conservation Council’s EASE Project, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust, as part of the Integrated Sustainability Education Partnership program, under the NSW Government’s ‘Our Environment It’s a Living Thing’ campaign.
The EASE Project is about bringing community groups together to strengthen and inspire each others work, build skills and improve access to support so that community environment groups and committed individuals can continue to be leaders in creating an ecologically sustainable NSW.

 Spot a Shark utlizes a computer based software program to identify individual sharks. Each grey nurse shark has a series of pigmentation spots on either side of their body. These markings are unique to each shark (just as human fingerprints are unique to each one of us). The program asks members of the dive community to send in their photos of GNS to help catalogue the population along the east coast. These photos (if suitable) will then assist marine biologists to learn more about these endangered creatures.
Visit the Spot a Shark website to send your photos. |

 On December 2007, we received a Christmas present from one of our Adopt a Shark parents. Ms Culler's class had sent us this Shark story, and we liked it so much we thought we would share it with all of you. We hope many more children will learn as much about sharks as the Shark Finatics- enjoy!
