SAVE THE SHARKS!



<img:http://elftown.eu/img/photo/89128_1177682011.jpg>


A few days ago, (at the request of [Byne]) I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, which is about the horrors of the finning business. Needless to say, I'm not very happy about this, after all, sharks are not the ruthless killing apparatuses that you see on movies like Jaws and Deep Blue Sea. They are beautiful creatures that belong in this world just as much, if not more, than us humans. So, this wiki is dedicated to the sharks.

What can I do to help?



1. Educate yourself about the issues concerning sharks and shark finning.
2. Donate or volunteer for an organization that deals with animal, wildlife or shark conservation.
3. Help spread awareness.
4. Do not buy any shark products. ( ie. shark fin soup, shark cartilage capsules...)

2008-04-19 [Byne]: ....o_____________o I live in Ontario, several hundred miles form any ocean. ;-;
I did my shark div ein the Bahamas though. Stuart's Cove. Yup, yup. It was amazing. :3

2008-04-20 [Tickle Me Emo]: I live in a decent diving area, but not too many sharks :(

2008-04-21 [Byne]: Aw. I kinda wish I lived nearer to a diving place. Even if I lived on the coast in Canada, it'd be cold water dives. x:

2008-04-21 [Tickle Me Emo]: Yeah, that's pretty much all you get in Seattle, too :P

2008-04-21 [Byne]: Where I live in the summer (o occasion) they have six gill sharks. 8D Freaky looking things.

2008-05-22 [Tickle Me Emo]: I got to see footage of the Giant Pacific Octopus attacking the dogshark the other day in my marine bio class. Just thought I'd put that out there.

2008-05-23 [Byne]: Well, I'm in Thailand right now. 8D Haven't seen any sharks here, diving or on the menu, which is good. I'm hoping to see a few leopard sharks and [possibly a whale shark while I'm here.

2008-05-23 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: If you see a whale shark, get some pics for us!

2008-05-25 [Byne]: I will. -Holds up her underwater housing.- I got some wicked shots of some lionfish. :3

2008-05-26 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: i can't wait to see those either if ever you feel like sharing

2008-05-29 [Byne]: Y'all will have to wait as my only access to internet is at a cafe in downtown Ao Nang. I pay per minute. x:

Saw a kuhl's ray, crested sea snake, and some wicked giant clams. And a crown of thorns starfish. Still no shark. ):

2008-06-04 [Avatar15]: This wiki makes me happy. C: I didn't expect I'd ever find one like this here on elftown, but I'm glad there is one.<3

2008-06-04 [Byne]: Sharks are teh love. I need to make a Scuba Divers wiki.... o:

2008-06-04 [Avatar15]: O: Have you gone swimming with them?

2008-06-05 [Trist]: "wicked giant" ...you have no idea how wrong that sounds to me.

2008-06-06 [Byne]: Swimming with sharks? Psssht.. I've dived with sharks. :) It was amazing.

2008-06-06 [Avatar15]: I consider diving swimming. :P Same. It is. <3

2008-06-07 [Byne]: Diving = more complicated than swimming and easier to injure/be killed while doing. :) I can state all the differences if you like? xD

I saw another stingray today. And some other cool jazz. Photos will be up in about a month. I'm staying in Thailand for nine days longer than expected.

2008-06-08 [Trist]: man that sucks. unless you like thailand. then i guess its ok. but i'm not a big fan of thai food and i get antsy when i stay in one place too long.

2008-06-08 [Ramirez]: Ooh, biatch wanted to stay. -snaps fingers all dramatically-
