  FYI

  We're trying to get more people talking about the Shark Identification =
Network (SIN), which is a platform for reporting shark sightings in =
Atlantic Canada (well, Gulf of Maine up to Newfoundland, to be =
specific). This platform also allows people to submit photographs of =
basking sharks to our Photo ID Catalogue. The objective is to gain a =
better understanding of shark distribution and occurrence in this region =
and the more people we have submitting sightings and photographs, the =
better. SIN began in the Bay of Fundy a couple years ago, an initiative =
of the Grand Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station, in partnership =
with World Wildlife Fund and funding from the Habitat Stewardship =
Program (HSP). Thanks to funding from HSP, we expanded to the rest of =
Nova Scotia and the Gulf of Maine this past year and over the next two =
years, will be expanding to Newfoundland, PEI and parts of Quebec.=20


  Jarrett Corke (WWF) made a great website for SIN
  http://sharkidnetwork.com/


  which now hosts our blog:
  http://sharkidnetwork.com/blog/



  (you can follow the blog by clicking the +Follow tab that pops up in =
the bottom right-hand corner and entering your email address).=20


  To try and reach more people, we also have a Facebook page =
https://www.facebook.com/sharkidetwork
  We're hoping people can "like" us and spread the word. It doesn't =
matter where you live, the more people we can reach out to, the better. =
So please pass this info along to anyone you think would be interested! =
Thanks!!
