| Florida Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Edwin Roberts:
'The number of tourists who participate in shark-feeding tours compounds the shark attack rate in Florida, Commissioner Edwin Roberts of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said. "It's a dumb thing to do," Roberts said. "You don't need to interact with sharks to have a successful dive." ' |

| From Gary Stock, PADI Divemaster: " Shame on PADI and DEMA for letting down the vast majority of the scuba diving community in this "dash for cash" approach to marine life encounters. When you could have stood up and exemplified environmental responsibility, you sold out to commercial exploitation of marine wildlife." |

| | VIGILANCE NEEDED TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS by Steve Waters. " I am concerned that the FWC, in its effort to control the feeding of sharks off Broward County beaches, will end up creating marine preserves in which no fishing is allowed. That's part of the management plan drafted by shark feeders in response to the FWC's concerns about swimmers, divers and snorkelers being attacked by sharks that have been conditioned to get their food from humans. I guess it's just coincidence that it's the same plan being floated by local shark-feeding dive operators, who stand to profit handsomely from a shark park." BACK TO TOP |
