What is wrong with our ocean patrol these days?? I went out to Ero Jacks in Dania yesterday morning with my partner Joni, and was having a great time untill she spotted a Nurse shark that was speared.. I tried to help getting it free, but the spear was thru its side and came out just below its mouth and I had no luck. Now its laying there waiting to die.. This has been on my mind all night and day today.. Then finding out today from my diveshop that a divemaster there has spotted a bull shark that was caught, gutted and left its head back in the ocean. Then also has told me that now both groupers at the Sea Emperor was speared and killed by some yahoo's....
I have heard that our shores are not as protected anymore and I also noticed on the jacks that the lobsters were also being grabbed before mini season... Has anyone also noticed that our dinners are being grabbed too early????
What can we do as a diving community do to have our ocean protected from these morons like it was before??? IE take away their boats, dive gears or homes as it was once before and now they are just getting a slap in the wrist!!!! All I heard was that there was a lot of cutbacks in having our ocean protected....
I just needed to get this off my chest and any feedback on how or what we can do would be appreciated...
