Stop Shark Fishing In Tobago

"In recent weeks a fishing boat has been coming into Speyside in Tobago and shark fishing off little Tobago. This kind of targeted fishing is indiscriminate. They are catching sharks of all species, including endangered hammerheads and tiger sharks, many too young to breed. This is not the livelihood of entire communities, nor is it the local fishermen of Speyside. The culprits are four individuals who are trying to get rich quick by plundering the waters around the precious Speyside reef. For several weeks now they have been catching ten or more sharks each day and selling the shark meat in Trinidad. This kind of action can quickly lead to an environmental disaster. No sharks would mean a dramatic increase in the number of smaller fish, which in turn eat-out the coral reef. Please help stop this practise before it's too late. May we urge you to copy and paste the following message and email it to the relevant authorities on Tobago.
