It comes down to dollars, Blue Planet programming is expensive.<BR/><BR/>Ripped moments from You Tube, inexpensive but dull, repetitive, and damaging to the perception of sharks.<BR/><BR/>Our point is simple. 99% of the shark programming you see is factory built in a production office by non shark people. <BR/><BR/>The only time our industry really gets involved is when they call asking for help getting to the critters they need to shoot-with a pre sold shark script in hand.<BR/><BR/>If Discovery put together a regional industry panel of shark operators and researchers they could game change an entire genera.<BR/><BR/>It's an interesting thought. <BR/><BR/>"Vision" is the only thing stopping positive change from happening. <BR/><BR/>Programming does not need to be expensive...if you know what you are doing.Horizon Charters Guadalupe Cage Divinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624362913061595393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370711998877298323.post-11464283156607649822009-02-04T01:08:00.000-08:002009-02-04T01:08:00.000-08:00I would think that the Shark Finning industry is b...I would think that the Shark Finning industry is bloody and savage enough for some good Discovery Channel programming. Don't they have a show about a private military going after pirates in Africa. A show going in depth into the Shark-trade has to be better than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370711998877298323.post-11802589094857228242009-02-03T17:34:00.000-08:002009-02-03T17:34:00.000-08:00Then it's time for a change.
