Friday's Featured Film: The Magic of Sharks
In a week when we mourn the deaths of two men killed by sharks near San Diego and in Mexico, it's a good time to recall that sharks inspire awe as well as fear.
We need to hold and honor that sense of awe, because if we succumb to fear (or greed), the ocean will lose the great predators whose survival is essential to the health of ocean ecosystems.
Sadly, officials in Mexico unleashed a slaughter of sharks following the death of a young American surfer in the waters near Puerto Vallarta. Our friends at WildCoast are leading a campaign to stop the senseless killing, just as the Monterey Bay Aquarium and others are calling for an end to shark finning worldwide.
Filmmaker Howard Hall captures the majesty of sharks in this clip from the PBS Nature program "Shark Mountain." Enjoy!
Cool blog, I spend a lot of time in Puerto Vallarta and live there part time. I always do a Google search for all the blogs about Puerto Vallarta so I can keep up with what is going on when I am not there. Have a great day. pvkid
