Here is an article describing how a shark saved a mans life at sea. The man had been stranded without fuel, his brother-in-law having died in the first few days to dehydration before it rained, giving the man fresh water. He was on the sea for 15 weeks.
It is amazing, sharks are incredible creatures that shouldn't be feared but respected.

Some very sad news
In this article, lives of precious marine creatures where wasted for the purpose and want of the human. If we choose the change the earth we can. The choice is between harming it for our purpose or protecting it for the future of all that live on it's surface.

Here is an article written by reporter Yu Qian based on an interview with Dai Xiaojie (professor at Shanghai Ocean University)
It has many good points, however, it is far past the time for sustainable shark fishing! It is the time to save this beautiful species.
Take a look and see what you make of his points regarding shark finning.

UK sharks
BBC news did a 2 minute awareness clip this morning.
Although short the clip does get the message across that sharks are reducing rapidly in UK waters and many wonder if the numbers will ever go up again.
We can only hope they eventually do.

Back to school and routine
Hi!
I have been back at school for basically a week now and slowly getting back into the routine of homework and full school days.
Haven't managed to do any shark activities as I have been busy with tests (already) and applying to colleges for my last 2 years of school (after this one).
On the environmental side rather then the shark projects I am planning to run 7km in a gorilla suit through the middle of London on the 22nd of September in order to raise money for the few but precious Mountain Gorillas.
Can't wait to run in a stinky gorilla suit!! I think it will be hugely humorous as well as being really rewarding for those running it and the gorillas.
The year is off to a good start and hopefully will just improve on the environmental, shark and personal front.

Some good and bad new
Good:
"Randall Arauz Vargas, Pretoma president, considers fin import from the neighbouring country is a mechanism to evade national regulations against the separation of this part of the shark's body at sea."
Hopefully this statement will stop anymore loopholes in the Costa Rican law.
Bad:
500kg of shark fin arrive at the public piers in Costa Rica annually from Nicaragua. This really has to stop.
Raising awareness is the key, the more people who realize how horrible it is the more people will be against it and want it banned.
