Randall Bryett grew up on the Sunshine Coast of Australia with some the worlds best fishing around every corner. He has worked in many aspects of the fishing industry including chasing the Giant Black Marlin at the prestigious Lizard Island. He is a avid fly fisherman who likes to find his own path. When not traveling he resides in Northern California with his wife Kate and their adopted cats.
I have not been blogging much here lately but I have plenty on my mind. Check out this footage of one of the MR Big's of the shark fining trade. This stands side by side in importance with whaling and dolphin slaughters that many activists have been fighting. Guess what? Same countries and races of people involved, throw in some greedy professional fisherman from a few countries, even our green eco friendly Costa Rica friends and whamo the sharks are going to be wiped out. Does any one care that these sharks are dissapearing or even know when they order shark fin soup what is happening to our ocean? No they are not dolphins, tigers or fluffy pandas so they do not get news time. Time to get serious with our freinds in Asia their diet might be different but they do not have the right to plunder the oceans with their drift nets, long lines and mega fishing fleets. We also need to curb our demands for seafood caught by wasteful and unsustainable fishery pratices.
