I am the lead author of a new study In Hot Soup: Sharks Captured in Ecuador's Waters out in the journal Environmental Sciences.
Did you know that the U.S. government has allowed the practice of shark-finning for several years?
Oh, thank you SOOOOOO much for that little nugget of information. Wait, I've got to go--blech! OK, I'm back. Actually, the Dec. 7th post about fish scales in lipstick, that's the one I should show my 17-year-old daughter.
Hee, shark guts.
Seriously, I love orcas to pieces. I live on Vashon Island, former foster home of Springer, and we got very attached to our little orphan girl. Watching her spyhop to 'visit' us at the ferry dock, or roll and wave her fins at the ferries, you couldn't resist her sweet nature. I'm glad that she was able to go back to her pod, though. Busy shipping lanes are no places for babies.
