A stepping stone to fighting the shark-finning dilemma? Go scientists!
Speaking of fins, we'd like to give a huge cheer for Rob Stewart (director of the fantastic documentary "Sharkwater") who is currently cycling across France in a Spandex Shark Costume to raise money! We salute you and your #finfree campaign!

Ever wonder how dangerous sharks REALLY are?
DNews informs us of 6 creatures that are way more dangerous than sharks - and some of them may surprise you.
We can sometimes be annoyed at the "mockumentaries" that the Discovery Channels tend to display during shark week, but thankfully this video addition to the Discovery Network is interesting, informative and truthful.
We hope you're all having a happy shark week!

HAPPY SHARK WEEK!
Some of us aren't huge fans of the Discovery Channel's way of celebrating sharks, so instead of making them seem fierce or debating the existence of a Megalodon we're going to show you a different scientific video on sharks every day of the week!
And remember - live every week like it's shark week!

The meat from dozens of slaughtered sharks off UK coastline could be illegally passed off as huss in fish & chip shops across the country.
Local resident Kevin Parker came across the heads and butchered bodies of over 60 smooth-hound sharks. On his discovery he said "I was about to check on my boat when I found myself among a big pile of about 50 or 60 shark heads. Then, just a bit further up, there were even more. There were little pups in there as well [...] I’ve lived on the island all my life and I’ve never seen anything like this. I was just devastated.”
A photo of the severed remains of the sharks has made its way to Facebook and Twitter. You can view the picture via the link below but viewer discretion is advised. There is no blood in the picture but there are a lot of shark heads and shark skin. You can view the image HERE.
These creatures were dumped near the Isle of Wight coastline and anglers in the local area are furious.
These sharks are not dangerous to humans and are also not usually caught for human consumption in the UK. However, once the fish are skinned, their meat can easily be passed off as huss (a.k.a dogfish or catfish). But smooth-hound sharks are nowhere near as common as huss and are classified as vulnerable by the IUCN.
Make sure your local fish & chip shop are buying their produce from reputable sources, especially if you live in and around the Isle of Wight. If you would like any more information, don't hesitate to contact us.

Amazing news!
An amendment has just passed in Congress which will push the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct an examination on the effects of captivity on marine animals such as ocras.
Could this be the beginning of the end for live orca and dolphin shows? We hope so!
For more information talk to us here at Turn Tides!
