2) A new movement has taken shape in Hong Kong as a result of the video made of the dying Whale Shark:
"A Facebook group is hoping to change traditional wedding banquets by hitting newlyweds where it hurts - in the pocket.
The "Cut gift money for shark-fin banquets" campaign calls on netizens to tell couples about to get married to leave the traditional soup off the menu or receive a 30 percent cut in their red packets or money gifts.
Within days, 3,896 people signed up and more are joining daily.
Group originator Yui-Wah Clement Lee said he decided on the anti-shark's fin campaign after seeing a video clip in which hunters off the Philippines cut off the fins of a young whale shark and left it adrift to die."
More great news:
It passed!!! The Hawaiian House just voted in favor of the bill to ban the distribution, sale and possession of shark fins in Hawaii. Still a few more steps to go, but this is another huge hurdle!
Scuba folk, if you're interested in helping with the fight to save Sharks:
A really good campaign Say No to Shark Fin Soup Campaign is the best. With minimal donations they are buying bus stop Bill Boards in Asia featuring Yao Ming the basketball star. I feel it's the most proactive and they accept any amount you are willing to donate through Paypal.
