So technical problems stopped me posting about World Oceans Day on 8 June but as I feel everyday should be Oceans Day there is nothing wrong be few days out.
Here is a video OCEARCH Twitter put together to celebrate the day.
Remember we need Sharks to keep our oceans in balance and we need oceans to survive.
The Virginian Pilot pilotonline.com have reported the 11 OCEARCH sharks pinging of the coast of the Lowcountries
They are
Savannah, Grey Lady, George, Cisco, Oscar, Hilton, Weimar, Beaufort, Manhattan me and Mary Lee
I was so excited that I managed a good ping the other day that I forgot to blog it. Since my last ping on October 1st 2016 I have travelled from Long Island to just off Pamlico Sound. North Carolina.
