Wholesale massacre of sharks. When will it stop?
“Some Somali shores became uninhabitable because some of the ships were throwing thousands of Shark carcasses into the sea after their valuable fins had been cut off. The mutilated dead bodies of these majestic sharks were coming into shore and decayed on the village beaches.
The smell was terrible and many residents were getting sick due to infections carried by flies from the rotting carcasses. The residents of the coastal towns such as Garacad, Jariiban, Idaan etc. suffered severely. An entire shore line could look like red for entire days; this was not blood but floating lobster-eggs shaven from the processing of Lobster tails for the rich clients mainly in Kenya and Dubai.
This indiscriminate lobster harvesting during wrong times, when the female Lobsters carry eggs and the forbidden taking of female lobsters with eggs caused the villagers to go hungry because the marine creatures were depleted by these ruthless commercial fishing practices neglecting any laws of legal fishing or cultural habits.”
About Martin Brody

Martin Brody is a character from the movie Jaws. His character was the chief of police. He is not a real person. The actor who played him is Roy Scheider (pictured) who is deceased. Who is running this page under false pretenses?
I would like to thank Martin Brody for the great job is doing for the conservation of Ocean life. Much of the current piracy activities in East Africa had been caused by the constant looting of Somali coastal lines recources. Enough is enough.

im am not proud what these men are doing to these sharks im a scientist of sharks and this needs to stop
I am Born in Mombasa, Kenya, and remember very clearly, whilst I was a Kid, when My school friends and myself have witnessed a few Shark attacks at Fort Jesus, Mombasa, and on my Recent Trip in Mombasa (Dec 2009) There had just been a shark attack on a 15yr Chap and killed him at Likoni Ferry, Mombasa. The Local Papers list these attacks. However, when I check on the World Shark Stats, Kenya is not on the list at all.
Why? Is it that there is no-one reporting them, or these attacks don't matter.
I dont mean to sound rude, but there is a Gap of un-listed attacks around the world. Should there not be someone taking down these records.

I am an optimistic person. I like to look at the bright side of life and I like to forgive and forget, because its the right thing to do.
But, I read articles like the above and I am sick to the stomach on the depths humans sink to for profit and greed.
