Unfortunately, the anti-shark finning bill in Hawaii was turned down as fishermen refuse to believe shark stocks are in danger. I'll keep you posted on following events. It's a bit vaugue, but check it out in the Shark Advenutres section. Also, I'll have some information on my shark adventure over the summer and my upcoming shark dive with Stuart Cove in January. Eco-tourism can be a big help to sharks and marine life.
Education is the key.
However, feeding sharks directly off shore is not the way to do this. Some shark feedings lower contact between the sharks and the divers and are away from shore and are run by professionals, but others are run by ametuers near shore, and are not good at all. There is a lot of controversy here, and although I believe it is best for a diver to see a shark as it is in its natural habitat, shark feeding dives that are run correctly can help too. I'm reserving my final judgement until I go on a shark feeding dive with Stuart Cove in January.
