Should Gordon be fired?Prima vista, I would have to concur with Patric.But then, I had to think about the many prominent Shark advocates that have started out as Shark killers - mainly because in those times, Sharks were being viewed as villains, killing Sharks was in no way being frowned upon and they just did not know better. Yes that was a long time ago and one would presume that in this

Somebody just sent me this video.It is by Jim Barley of the Shark Lab and like many of his productions, it depicts Shark biologists having fun - including plenty of grabbing, petting and riding, of which I’m really not a fan. But that’s not the topic.Check it out.Didya see it?If not, watch what unfolds after 1:20 between the Hammerhead and the free diver!Now, in my book, Great Hammerheads count

Thank you George for posting the following video.It really says it all: it was an accident - and if one has thousands of close interactions with predatory Sharks, those things will just happen. Just ask any reputable Shark researcher! :)Not to worry!Kudos to Jimmy (Abernethy, with an "e"!) and to WPTV for having managed to turn this into what is essentially very much a pro-Shark story!So from all

I must confess that my head is spinning.I recently had a conversation with one of my very smart friends about the plight of the Northern Bluefin and he said look at the European subsidies. Without those, much of the large scale fisheries would not be commercially viable and the overfishing would not be happening.The above graphic, already posted here, appears to be confirming just that.Same same

2010 ranks as one of the warmest on record.There were also a large number of extreme weather events (including some record cold spells), with more happening as we speak in 2011.This, the UN says, is the result of Global Warming.Not convinced?Please read this and also, please look at the revealing comments section and the hilarious rebuttals by Danny Richter.
