It sounded like a Amish knitting group clucking about the weather.<br /><br />"Sad news"<br />"Terrible thing"<br />"What can we do?"<br /><br />I am done with it. <br /><br />We have an entire dive industry filled with (I hope) smart people.<br /><br />It begins to defy reason that they cannot save/help the very resource they claim to make a living from.<br /><br />Shark Free Marinas Initiative?<br /><br />http://www.sharkfreemarinas.com/brief-history.shtml<br /><br />This is not rocket science (maybe it is). You roll up your sleeves and get the damn job done. <br /><br />It starts with "One".<br /><br />You also use examples like Fiji as a template. You guys have even done all the work and brilliantly I might add.<br /><br />You do not go to an NGO and beg for help, or create another useless shark petition.<br /><br />As for the bickering? That's just the dive industry if you cannot handle "those without vision" - get out of the industry.<br /><br />I would like to see Stuart Cove and UNEXO take the lead on this with the backing of the BDA.<br /><br />I saw the internal Bahamas shark dive numbers a while back and you might be impressed with what shark tourism "mean$" to the region.Horizon Charters Guadalupe Cage Divinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624362913061595393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370711998877298323.post-50615266980572605612009-08-14T21:28:33.250-07:002009-08-14T21:28:33.250-07:00Thank you!
it still completely baffles me why nob...Thank you!<br /><br />it still completely baffles me why nobody seems to be interested in having Tiger Beach and other sites protected.<br /><br />Instead, every shark kill spawns a hectic round of incestuous e-mails that start with common outrage and inevitably end up in petty bickering - and zero meaningful action.<br /><br />Oh well - guess that who we are.DaSharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787762757245289307noreply@blogger.com
