Sharks, Coal & The Great Barrier Reef Ep.14

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=19042899 We finally made it back into the water after spending 2 weeks on the hard ripping apart out boat. First stop Prudhoe Island, but we got a little surprise when the first things we saw was shark nets and coal... The content in this video may spark debate, but to us its important to speak our truth, and highlight aspects of life where we think injustice occurs. Life on the ocean is an adventure, it’s also a place for deep reflection. Over the course of many hours in a long discussion between one another, we knew we had to share this powerful video with the world, so here it is. If you want to put the pressure on the QLD government, please click the Local QLD MP link below. Locate the closest area to you in which drumlins and shark nets occur. Please email them, and inform them to why you want to see the nets and drumlines gone and replaced by tried and tested non-lethal alternatives in QLD waters. If you are wanting to find out more information about the nets I encourage you to watch The Shark Net Film by Holly Richmond (link below). Every Australian needs to see this documentary on the governments ineffective and cruel shark mitigation strategy. - Local QLD MP List: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/current/list?fbclid=IwAR1BiZ-dpahD_kw-12MrhmvDOrxsqGactN3IxRKmMuw-KEIhET8X3GqTop0 The Shark Net Film: https://vimeo.com/354361839 - A little bit about us: "The Mer & The Man is a marine conservation based project aiming to support the mission of greater worldwide ocean sanctuary and protection. Our goal is to help shed light and encourage action on current global environmental issues the ocean is facing. These environmental issues will be the core of our conservation content within our adventure blog 'The Mer And The Man’. The issues we will be covering include; Plastic Pollution, The Fossil Fuel Industry, The Health Of The Great Barrier Reef, Ending The War On Sharks, and Education and Awareness. A little bit about us… Emily is 21 and currently studying a marine and environmental science degree and is a passionate free diver and ocean conservationist. Sage is 21 and has lived on his dads boat for 10 years and has salt running through veins and a very enthusiastic way of being. When we met we decided we wanted to live on the ocean together, go on crazy adventures and raise awareness about important issues at the same time. We hope we can help our viewers connect more with nature and encourage adventure wherever you decide to go in life.
