Myth

Within the shark net – safe to swim

But outside ..Pretty save but how about ..outside … not sure

particularly important to make sure those people aware and understand that there will be no more shark fin available if the current consumption practice continues or even intensifies by the shark fin demand of Hong Kong and Mainaland China. Further, the shark fin supply sectors should also understand that over-exploitation of sharks not only results in biological catastrophe in ecosystem, but also socio-economical difficulties for themselves in case that the shark fishery collapses.

Try not to touch not to provoke

Whenever I see the shark …

I just take a picture and keep an eye on them
