Let’s Save Thresher Sharks!
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005Ayatollah’s article about the thresher sharks in Malapascua was way too fascinating to read. I am a nature conservationist myself and I am just too glad to help preach to our brethrens the importance of our marine ecosystem to the existence of human life on earth.
Too many people around the world know about this elusive shark which belongs to a mackerel shark family. Thresher sharks come in three different species and vary in sizes depending on the species. But they share one common characteristic that set them apart from other shark families, their caudal fin which measures half their total body length, hence their name.
Malapascua is a tiny island just a few kilometers off the northern tip of Cebu. A tiny slice of paradise! The waters around the island is amazingly beautiful! I mean, the life beneath the ocean surface. It has one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world just like some other dive spots in Cebu.
It’s NGenius, the newest word for cool. Thus read a tag line scribbled across a giant billboard that looms over the junction of Juan Luna Avenue, Cardinal Rosales Avenue and F. Cabahug Street in Mabolo.
