Help Save Sharks...

As many of you know I am big diving enthusiast and have dived all round the world. I have been privileged to see sharks in their natural habitat and how amazing these creatures are in the wild. I am hoping to dive again soon with sharks and the organization I am possibly going to work with has launched this campaign to end the destructive practice of shark finning. They sent the following message that I am passing onto you. Please, please sign their petition and forward it to your friends.

"The Underwater Channel is a new web TV Channel for both divers and all those interested in the oceans. Please can you help in our campaign against the iniquitous practice of shark-finning which is presenting a real threat to sharks the world over. In case you’re in any doubt about supporting sharks please consider the following: Our oceans cover approx 70% of the Earth with coral reefs being responsible for approx 70% of the air we breathe. Sharks are seriously under threat due to shark-finning. They are also top of the ocean’s food chain and play a vital role in keeping the ecosystem stable and the oceans healthy and productive. The removal of these apex predators will have catastrophic effects not just on the marine ecosystem, but upon us all.

You can help by please signing our petition at Not on our Menu.

We really need your help to bring the number of signatures up to our 10,000 target! Our mission is to reach this target by World Ocean Day on 8th June, 2009 and to present the petition to the UN Sec General in New York calling for effective policing of member states’ legislation and implementation where there isn’t any legislation."

Comment by FionaDA on May 27, 2009 at 6:21pm: David, Hi, I am very very let down by this petition as I've been an admirer of yours for a long time. Just wondering do you remember Jaws ? I am still traumatised by the music and the fin and even Universal studios scares the living daylights out of me. I feel I might be betraying you now but the answer is No, I wont be signing your petition.

I'm very glad that you are working with the organization. Good job! I'm so proud of you. ;)

As for my point, I'm against any form of animal cruelity, as Sharon wrote.
