Gordon Ramsay eats Shark Fin Soup for the first time!

Posted under Diving & Environment & Sharks

In this youtube video Gordon Ramsay (known from the TV show Hells Kitchen) eats Shark Fin Soup for the first time.

Gladly he does not like it, and also looks into the slaughtering of the shark.

I hope shows like this will start to affect the politicians to help protect the sharks.

From the Emperor Divers newsletter I found this interesting iPhone/iPad application:

Aqua Life Images

It looks like a must have, if you are a diver, and owner of an iPhone and/or an iPad.

The application contains over 700 images of underwater species, and a lot of information about them.

Take a look here at the company’s webpage

A third species of Manta Rays

Posted under Environment

I just found this interesting article about Manta Rays.

http://www.saveourseas.com/blogs/mantas-mozambique/3836

When i was in Sharm in end of June, I was at a presentation about Manta Rays.

Were interesting, and also very choking about how the manta rays are being hunted, simply to have their fin used in shark fin soup, where the fins only work to make the soup thicker, no taste at all.

The presentation was done by Manta Queen, Dr. Andrea Marshall who has been studying the Manta Rays for many years.
