Well, I think that, well, numerically, that's of course going to happen, and you'd be the first two Sharks tagged for the coming season because I hadn't even got into funding mode yet, but you guys have catalyzed me into it, which is fantastic.

And it shows that support, but these things take a lot of effort and time.

The tag is that much money.

Then I've got to get on a boat, I've got to get a crew, I've got to go down to the bottom of New Zealand, I've got to spend two weeks down there in the freezing cold, I've got to find the sharks, I've got to lure one close enough, I've got to tag it.

But then the easy work starts.

Then we get to follow it through the app.

So supporting this is hugely beneficial because New Zealand doesn't have money to go behind research for big animals like this even though they're endangered.

Especially in the ocean, we really lack in it.

This is really cool.

You know, Shark Week just aired in America, and I had about 600,000 views on just one post about where these sharks go.

So Shark Week comes out in two weeks in New Zealand, and you're about to actually see me tagging these very sharks that we've been tracking on the app.

And, you know, next Shark Week, it'll be these exact tags going out that you'll see on TV too.

So it's a really collective study.

I used to say it's like the Red Sox for the America's Cup, but you really can't say that anymore.

But it is that kind of mentality.

Kiwis all coming together to achieve something great.

There aren't any yet, because every tag I put on a shark is funded by a person previous.

I can't just go buy stock, I gotta buy to order.

What do they call it?

Order to sell or whatever.
