What a sad view
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Today after leaving Sharky, walking by the other end of the bay I saw a fishing boat full of fish. It wasn’t on the main beach, but on a secluded area, away from the daily traffic. The fishermen, not from here (I know most of them by now), were unloading their catch to a small truck. I passed by to see what kind of fish they have; maybe I could get some good one for dinner. I stopped and looked and what a sad view that I didn’t expect.
Beside other fish they had five nurse sharks, most of them really small, only about 3 feet long, two or three good size eaglerays chopped already. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I felt like crying. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera with me to take a picture and report them to the local authorities. For the rest of the day I couldn’t stop thinking about how the people ruin the marine life not realizing that if they don’t let the fish reproduce there won’t be much to fish later on.
