Remember what we are fighting for

I just finished watching CNN's Planet in Peril which had an extensive segment on sharks and shark finning. It was great to see Anderson Cooper dive with the sharks without a cage and to listen to what he said about the experience.

At the same time, the section on shark finning, served as a strong reminder for what we are fighting for and the difficult path that lies ahead...it is good see that sharks made it to primetime...wondering what effect this will have - was it just noise and will it get more people to fight for sharks...

Here is a little reminder of what we are fighting for...photos taken by my old man at Tiger Beach on our recent trip.

Shark Fins make it big

Story on shark finning makes homepage on CNN.com with the editorial on how the practice can alter the ecosystem. Be sure not to miss Planet in Peril on December 11th 9PM EST - report...also check out Anderson Cooper's blog post.
