The Jackfish Alley Cave Exploration: Shark Finning :This
horrific practice is still being undertaken by the Japanese and closer
to home by the Spanish. The EU attempted to bring out regulation, preventing
the fishermen from simply chucking the helpless shark back into the ocean
and insisting that they would have to keep the carcass of each shark.
Whilst still highly unpleasant however, this would effectively reduce
the amount of sharks that could be recklessly de-finned on any one trip,
simply due to lack of storage, as well as gaining some small degree of
knowledge about which species were being caught.
As
a result of Spain's displeasure at this though, the rule is now practically
impotent, as fishermen merely have to log the details of each unfortunate
shark. Thus paving the way for them to continue this barbaric practice
pretty much unfettered. To sign a petition to advocate the introduction
of an effective ruling, please click on the following, otherwise we may
see last few years of shark population: Not
particularly breaking news, however, the National Dive Centre, at Dayhouse
Quarry has been running for a few years now, found just outside Chepstow.
