Draft Sabah Shark Survey Sites

Volunteer divers, dive masters and dive resorts have all contributed to the Sabah Shark survey.  This will run to the end of the year but the trends are now clear, shark populations have fallen dramatically over the past 16 years.  If you have dive data for Sabah please contribute, if you have dive data for the rest of the world please forward that to the Global Shark Survey.
