Sharks need your help – Project AWARE are calling for help in their campaign to secure protection for sharks. They’re working to close loopholes in shark legislation, support establishment of effective MPA networks and engage divers in underwater research, data collection and awareness projects.
Sharks continue to be fished faster than they can reproduce causing real fears that shark species will become extinct in the very near future.
As global shark populations continue to decline – some by more than 90 percent in the last two decades – many scientists fear the worst.
Losing these top predators has devastating impacts on our underwater ecosystems and local economies. When sharks disappear, entire food webs can shift and valuable economies become devastated.
Critical shark species – including hammerheads, oceanic whitetip and spiny dogfish – failed to receive international protection at the recent Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meetings, and Project AWARE are asking for your help in their fight to change this.
Take action for shark conservation – support sustainable fisheries, shark research, data collection and help raise shark awareness worldwide.
With your support, Project AWARE can secure protection for sharks. Your contribution will help continue fighting for sharks and sustainable ecosystem management. Thank you for helping secure a future for our underwater world.

Volunteers needed for Dive for Earth Day 2010 – Calling All Divers and Water Enthusiasts!
2010 is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, an international campaign designed to raise environmental awareness on a global scale.
Underwater environments are under numerous threats including pollution, debirs, climate change, overfishing, and coral bleaching. Dive for Earth Day is an extraordinary opportunity to take action and help address the underwater issues that concern you most.
Over the last 10 years, the Project AWARE Foundation have joined this effort to focus attention on aquatic environments, and named this ‘Dive for Earth Day‘.
Why?
With the oceans covering more than 70% of the Earthโs surface and providing habitat for 90% of all life on the planet, one aim is to highlight the issues facing this particular environment, including pollution, debris, climate change, overfishing and coral-bleaching. Human activity is costing the Earth. And despite the oceansโ vast expanse, our marine debris is taking its toll on aquatic eco systems.
You can choose to make a world of difference by joining Scubafish and Narima Diving’s Dive for Earth Day event on 18th April. This is your chance to enjoy a fun day out and help raise environmental awareness on a global scale!!

At Scubafish part of our daily boat briefing informs you that as an environmentally-aware dive operator we request that you do not throw any of your leftover food or fruit peel into the sea and make use of the binbags on the boat instead, but why shouldn’t we feed marine fish?
Feeding the fish is a bad idea for tourists, snorkellers, divers, the fish and the ecosystem.
It can:
1.Disrupt the ecology
Over time this activity can change the behviour of fish, as they learn to connect snorkellers, divers and boats with feeding time. Marine life maintains balanced ecological relationships by competing for habitat and food. Continue reading »
