Finning

Today in class we learned about an inhumane process called 'finning'. It is where sharks are caught and their fins are removed and sold at a high price. The sharks are then thrown back into the ocean, often times still alive. 

Sharktrust.org is an organization raising awareness on this issue and I believe that just 1 reblog could potentially save them. These creatures are rapidly becoming extinct and are supposed to be gone within the next decade. The world is down to 10%.

Correspondence With SharkTrust.org On Shark ID Guides And Shark Focus Magazine

Hey There,

Happy Holidays!! I think you guys have the most amazing shark ID guides online. Is there any plan to expand on your already amazing collection? Is there any way to officially request to do so? I would be willing to help support it is as well.

I just found out you have a magazine too. Do you have copies of every issue to purchase? If not can PDF's of the magazine be purchased?

Sincerely, Richard

The Shark Trust

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the great feedback - just out of interest what species would you be particularly interested in?

Our Shark Focus magazine is created for Shark Trust members, however past copies of our magazine can be downloaded at http://www.sharktrust.org/en/shark_focus_archive. Unfortunately we don't have printed past copies available but to get the latest and future issues you can become a member at www.sharktrust.org/join.

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards

Hannah

Hey Hannah,

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

To be honest, you've already covered my favorite sharks but there are so many that would be great to see like the Whale Shark and the Blacktip Reef Shark to start. Actually I've heard good things about your site and your ID Guides from some of my marine biologist friends and we all agree that we would love to see the collection expanded. If it means helping out in any way it would be a pleasure to do.

Also I am definitely going to get a membership this weekend. I'd love to see the future issues of Shark Focus. I don't know if you're familiar with Shark Diver Magazine, but they stopped publishing recently and I am dying to see articles on sharks from a good publication like yours.

Thanks so much and let me know if there is anything we could do to help or encourage getting more shark species documented in your ID Guide collection.

Sincerely, Richard
