CareerSwim with the TunaForster is a director of Port Lincoln-based tourism venture, Swim with the Tuna. Operations were first trialled in South Australia's Boston Bay in 2010[7] before commencing commercial operations in 2011. The business intended to move to Kangaroo Island, but has faced opposition from conservationists[8] and residents. Proposals to relocated the facility comprising a modified tuna pen and floating pontoon to Nepean Bay have been rejected on two occasions, most recently in 2012.[9] Oceanic Victor (another business for which Forster works as an advisor) proposes to offer a very similar experience to that offered by Swim with the Tuna, located off Granite Island in Encounter Bay.[1] The Swim with the Tuna business was sold in 2015 ahead of the possible relocation to Victor Harbor. Forster claimed that they had held some of their fish captive for five years, the largest having reached a weight of 85 kilograms.[10] Granite Island observatoryEmma's father Ron Forster built a floating underwater observatory in 1989. Her father's construction was first used in Port Lincoln, where it assisted the development of the tuna industry. It was later sold to Stephen Edwards, who moored it off Granite Island. It operated there as a tourist attraction and educational facility from 1997 to 2004. In 2015, Forster was revealed to be working as an advisor for Oceanic Victor, a company which intends to re-establish a similar facility off Granite Island. The venture intends to offer people the opportunity to swim with Southern bluefin tuna and other marine species, feed fish and observe them underwater.[11] The two directors of Oceanic Victor are also the CEO and Operations Manager of Tony's Tuna International, Tony Šantić and Michael "Mick" Dyer. Tony Šantić is a long-term friend of Forster's who provided her with a character reference after she was charged after crashing her Mercedes and recording a blood-alcohol level of 0.224% in August 2006.[12] She returned to the road in March 2007 with a provisional driver's license.[13] Great white sharksForster has co-managed her father's business, Calypso Star Charters, which offers shark cage diving experiences to tourists. Forster's partner David "Bucky" Buckland has encountered many great white sharks while diving for abalone. In 2013 Forster said of Great white sharks: "The sharks are like rabbits now. They can breed and no one can catch them."[4] Early lifeForster grew up on Fleurieu Peninsula, where she attended Rapid Bay Primary School and Yankalilla Area School.[11] She undertook a Rotary Youth Exchange to Japan in 1993, at the age of 17.[14] Ron Forster (father)Emma Forster's father Ron Forster is fisherman,[15] land developer and charter business owner.[16] Circa 2007, Forster began planning a major residential and holiday land development project called Sleaford Cove.[20] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url =
