Shark Cage Diving in South Africa
I was busy being sea sick and not getting bit by a shark, so I failed to get photos, but these are screencaps from the DVD that was shot of our trip. We saw four Great White Sharks in total, and I was lucky enough to be in the first group down in the cage because we had the best viewing experience.
In the photos of the divers, I’m on the right in the first one, and the left (looking into the water) in the second one.
Sharks! I love Shark Week.
Put an End to Shark Finning Today
Global demand for shark fin soup has pushed several shark populations to the brink of collapse. Shark finning is the cruel and wasteful practice of hacking off fins from live sharks, tossing the dead or dying animal overboard.
Not only is finning inhumane, but it also complicates fishery management since differentiating shark species is difficult once fins are removed.
The Shark Conservation Act would end shark finning in U.S. waters and make us world leaders in shark conservation and fisheries management.
There are only a few months left in this Congressional session. Tell your Senators TODAY that you demand shark protections and the passage of the Shark Conservation Act
Please take action now.
