That's why your on the 'Good Guys', list'. :-)

The Newspaper said the Sharks would be given to the Holy Cross Anglican School, but that a lame logic/justification for killing Sharks.

elbert thank you my mentor..

Once again, a major player on the island contradicts the eco-tourism image that Belize has worked hard to gain. Simply ridiculous. The science is old on this one. Sharks play an invaluable role to sustaining a vibrant and healthy reef community. But hell, chop some more mangroves, fill some more sewage run-off, and promote tournaments like these. We'll see how long this island makes it then.

I'm with you on that Canam.
50 years ago It would be an event for all the island but the times
have changed and San Pedro needs to catch up with the world awareness.
Love you James...but bad idea , no prizes for catching and killing sharks.
and OMG the worst timing you could have this is Shark conservation week. foot in mouth James
Shark Week - 11-19 October 2008

I was surprised and saddened by the announcement of this event. I just have unrealistic expectations about the enlightenment of others I suppose.

30 years ago the isolated Fishing Village Community that was San Pedro was dependent on the harvest of the commercial fishing industry, but that has changed and the necessity of good behavior in the international community is a large reality. We want to be seen as an Eco-Tourist Correct Location for that is now our bread and butter.

Are lawyers allowed? LOL

Only as chum . . .

No KC, lawyers aka sharks, are higher on the food chain than chum!
