Thanks to the work of Dr Elke Bojanowski and her Red Sea Sharks Trust, we can tell you that the individual male Oceanic White Tip Shark was first documented in 2014 at the Brothers. He was given the ID-number clo-0786, one of more than 1000 individual oceanics identified and catalogued in the largest database for this species in the world.
He was resighted at the same location in 2015, and then reappeared in 2019, this time in Daedalus Reef. And this is exactly where he was spotted again just a couple of weeks ago, by now a fully grown male Oceanic White Tip Shark.
It is this kind of unique knowledge that Elke is sharing with guests on her dedicated SHARK WEEKS on M/Y SCUBA SCENE in the Egyptian Red Sea.
None of the other shark-themed weeks can provide you with a similar level of personal involvement in local shark research, years of experience and background knowledge, a consequence of thousands of dives with sharks – especially Oceanic White Tip Sharks – in Egyptian waters across the last 17 years.
The valuable work conducted by the Red Sea Sharks Trust under Elke’s guidance means we now know even more about Oceanic White Tip populations in the Red Sea as well as other threatened shark species. Shark tourism is helping to make sharks more valuable alive than killed for their fins.
