The Story The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening. The Solution The focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with mercury, and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter. The Results It’s been working. Learn more about the latest hunting season. But the effort needs to continue. The hunt still goes on.

Oceanic Preservation Society - Home Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans: Whales and Dolphins - CetaceanRights.org The Last Ocean New Zealand Imensidão - Notícias, debates e alertas sobre os oceanos do mund Enviado por Pinguim Paulo Guilherme - 10h00m Turismo ajuda a preservar mares e tubarões nas Bahamas Muitos dizem que para se preservar é preciso conhecer, admirar, gostar. Os tubarões, por exemplo, são animais de maturez sexual tardia (alguns chegam a 15 anos para entrarem em idade reprodutiva) e outros tem gestação de mais de dois anos, gerando um filhote de cada vez. A melhor, e única na verdade, forma de se preservar estes magníficos animais é garantindo-se seu meio ambiente saudável, mares e oceanos, e moratória total na pesca. Não concorda? O chamado eco turismo vem se mostrando no mundo como a única opção financeiramente viável para preservação de diversos ambientes que sofrem depredação por motivos econômicos, como os mares com a pesca e as florestas com o desmatamento. Então na mesma linha de turismo para conscientização e preservação, a Scubalab, parceira do Projeto Divers for Sharks, lança uma expedição especial para estes animais. Abraços e até a próxima, Pingüim Contatos: 23h45m
