Wisnu,
In answer to your points.
1)What shall be stopped is shark finning of any sharks, not just thresher shark.
Yes we would like to stop all shark fishing.
We are asking for Bali to be a shark sanctuary with no fishing of sharks. Also no trading or trafficking of shark products through Bali or shark fin soup for sale.
It just happens that these sharks are 90% pregnant Thresher sharks and catching them is already forbidden. Obvious killing all the females and the next generation is even more harmful than normal shark fishing.
2)I will sign the petition immediately.....
I support your effor if you put any picture of shark fins traders or anyshops selling sharkfins
The photos with the sharks being finned are from the wholesale warehouse in Kusamba.
3)Indeed, there's no statement barbarian, no brain or not educated in the website
Thanks. Nice you do not falsely acuse anymore !
4)the fishermen is just small poor people, not educated well, nobody support them
Hang on, you originally accuse the website of saying the fisherman are uneducated, which it does not. Then you do it yourself in your 2nd post ! How rude !!!!
5)you ask for donation in yourweb to support your activity ... how many % go to them[/QUOTE]
So far we are spending our own money on this. Some dive centers have sponsored boats, tanks ect.
Working with the well respected NGO sharksavers.org we have produced fliers in Bahasa Indonesian and also fliers in English to highlight the distructive shark fishery and the lost chance to earn big tourist $ from protecting the sharks.
6)I will sign the petition immediately if you list the restaurant that offer shark fin in their menu
The shark fins are exported and not eaten much on Bali. You can see plenty of info online about that if you are interested.
As an example of what can be done I draw your attention to Bali tutles. Until very recently around 25,000 sea turtles were killed every year in Bali for ceremonies. See this link

This has been almost completly stopped by a campaign against it.
Are the people now poorer or hungrier ? No-now people use chickens and ducks and eat pig instead.
25,000 turtles a year were saved just on Bali ! Why? Because a campaign drew attension to the issue.
As you are a vocal diving Indonesian I would be very interested in what you have done to protect the seas for the next generation to live from and enjoy ? Or do you specialise in critisizing other peoples efforts and doing nothing yourself?
