Hello every one this is my first post of this site even though I've been a member for some time now. Last summer I was on a scuba diving trip off East Malaysian Sabah. I have now recently been informed by the diving business I was diving with that the Dive companies around Seporna are lobbying the govenment for an 8000km2 shark sanctury. Considering the problems that are faced in this Asia area with shark finning this sanctury with help protect the sharks in the area.
The project has been approved by the local Govenment and the department of fisheries. They now a proposal will be submitted to the Sabah state Government for approval. The local dive industry would like to pass on a petition with atleast 10,000 names from marine enthusiasts around the world who are in favor of the Shark sanctury.
When I was there diving around Mabul and sippadan it really was an amazing place to dive with a great diverse marine envoriment. Though its not being protected enough as I could here the explosives from the fishermen when I was under water.
I would like to ecourage everyone one to help make this proposed sanctury pass into law. Pleae follow the link.
