Would do a great print ! I feel it could even get more negative space on the left to do a "panorama-like" giant print : )

Whaling operator kills. I'm just saying, catch and release for science purpose can be a good thing, as well as chuming. There is many discussions and argument in this way that already exist, and we are finding, thanks to catch and release, genetics, tagging, many things that told communities how to best project sharks, or how do they live, etc...

 

That said, once again, I'm FOR the banning.

Here is a screenshot of a publication I recently did and wrote :

But I could do and writte it because I caught and release sharks, hundreeds of them.

(

just a quick friendly answer :

 

I don't mean to say they shouldn't have forbid it, but it's really a pain in the ass to work on sharks when it's like that. Regulation (rules) such as no feeding (chum only) and only far from any beach / surfers sounds better to me.

one example : It's still allowed to chum for Tuna spearfishing. How do you chum for tunas only without brining the sharks? will you get arrested when you chum in the water for other species ?  what about the bycatch from fishermen (often happen in New Cal)?

If you need samples for genetic, or to tag, or anything for the GOOD of the overall population of sharks, then it's really bad for you, and you might just avoid going there because you don't have the time and energy for months and months of papers and administration to get a permit.

 

I agree "classic" feeding can be really bad, but non-commercial chumming for specific reasons by people who know what they do sounds OK to me.

 

That said, I quote myself : "...but it's worth it".

Great news. I'm not sure I fully agree to the part where feeding is forbidden, and it will make everything harder for people working with sharks (scientists / expeditions etc...) but it's worth it.
