Here is the last action of Longitude 181…. hope it will bear fruit in protecting sharks in all of the world's oceans.
" The November 21, a new step has been taken in the long fight for the protection of sharks at European level:
The European Commission has proposed to ban any cutting of fins on board vessels without derogation. Sharks must be landed in ports. It proposed to end the special fishing permits that are still granted by some Member States, notably Spain, which allow fishermen to remove shark fins at sea and to bring the fins and carcasses separately. at the port.
Recall that the current regulation of the European Union, adopted in 2003, is too lax. It does not detect and punish the practice of finning. The proposal, if adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers, would ensure that all sharks caught by EU vessels or in EU waters are landed with fins still naturally attached to the bodies.
Since 2007, the various petitions that we have asked you to sign aim to lead to this new regulation. But the road is long, as the processes at the European level are complex!
The last step is in the hands of the fisheries ministers and MEPs from all EU Member States who are now required to adopt the Commission's proposal. "

There is enough to give up ... :-)
What do you think of the decision taken on December 23, 2011 by a local judge in the Galapagos to drop proceedings against a factory ship arrested in July this year in the Galapagos National Park. He had on board 357 sharks, some of which appear on the red list of endangered species… Revolting!
Hello,
Shark fishing must be controlled like that of bluefin tuna.
Too much damage has already been done.
It is a beginning, but not the end. Let us all remain attentive and responsive.
Good year 2012
Christophe
All this is very good undeniably
The trouble is that we do not take into account the galloping demography
Emerging peoples are hungry for their many children
The others, in this case we want to eat fish
So whether it is for sharks or other cod, or tuna, we will scrape the bottom of the sea with more and more efficient gear until there is nothing left.
I am telling you about this because you will never see what I saw again !!!
In 50 years we have sunk the boat and it's not what the sores on TV tell that will change anything
Modern man is a dirty beast!
And as Bombard said, he will not survive his civilization
Yves Pacalet is even clearer to him (he likes me) when he says
“Humanity will disappear! Good riddance !!!"
And the whales that we see every day, while the Norwegians and the Japanese continue to destroy them… for scientific reasons they say
I would believe all this when we send a cruiser who will understand the rules with guns
Look at piracy under Louis XIV, it didn't last long
Ah good weather !!!
Ohhh… GéGé…!
What do you think Father WATSON is doing… he's screwing them up, those bastards of Japanese whalers…!
To make them explode the “returns of galbords” (the sailors will understand me)… !!!
But it is true and you are not wrong, GéGé, the guns would be even more effective against this garbage!
I rise up against all forms of violence and aggression; and I think it is important to inform and communicate well beyond the borders of our little world of diving….
Just for you, here is a small sample of the latest collection of TShirt
Swiss 3:http://www.3suisses.fr/FrontOfficePortail/catalogue_fra/homme/shopping-par-produit/polos-t-shirts/tous-les-polos-tee-shirts/t-shirt-manches-courtes-homme-en-coton-du-xs-au-2xl/22831-t-shirt-manches-courtes-homme-en-coton-du-xs-au-2xl.html ; there we say to ourselves that there is really work ...: - ((
Following numerous protests on Fb, the 3 Suisses brand has just withdrawn the sale of this product; we can only congratulate their reactivity and their commitment in choosing this decision.
As for the walls, if words and protests are not enough, indeed, sometimes certain actions a little more muscular are unfortunately necessary to be heard and respected ...
Oh… I couldn't believe it!
Do you know Geraldine, that I tried to find a telephone number, corresponding to the 3 Suisses, to have a person in charge of the clothing department and to yell at him directly for this infamous and odious sale of T-shirt “Peutve”…
In vain, I could not find a suitable number ...
When I saw your link… I was green !!!
Is it possible, at the present time, as a sales manager in a brand such as “les 3 Suisses”, to authorize such sales…!
Oh the “dude” he never listens to the radio, never watches TV, never reads and never goes out or whatever… or he's completely shaken up !!!
Thank you in any case Géraldine this info!
A Good Regulator Hi!
In any case Stéphane it must have worked because they removed it!
Congratulations!
Me, Geraldine to win her over, I would do it with flowers ...
