Save our Fins Event – A Fin/Fun-Filled Success!

Posted: July 20th, 2010, by kim

What?

The ‘Save our Fins’ 3-legged fin race was an event organised by Fish4divers.com, to help raise awareness about shark finning (and much needed funds) to help the Shark Trust continue their constant fight to protect our ocean’s sharks.

Fish4divers.com called upon everyone they could think of, including dive clubs, schools and local community groups, to get them involved with this fun event. In Regents Park, Newquay and Ko Lanta, people have hosted their own three-legged fin races to support the cause.

The Event Itself…

We asked divers, locals and holiday-makers from all over Ko Lanta to grab a buddy and join us for a three-legged fin tournament, to help raise awareness about shark finning.

Save our Fins Event…this Weekend!

Posted: July 13th, 2010, by kim

Grab a buddy and join us for a three-legged fin tournament, to help raise awareness about shark finning.

What: Three-Legged Fin Tournament.
When: 17th July, 5.30pm.
Where: Meet at White Rock, Klong Nin Beach.

Shark finning refers to the re­moval and retention of shark fins and the discard at sea of the carcass. The shark is most of­ten still alive when it is tossed back into the water. Unable to swim, the shark slowly sinks toward the bot­tom where it suffers predation from other fish, starves to death, dies from blood loss or suffocates and drowns, since most sharks need to keep moving to force water through their gills for oxygen. Sharks can take hours or even days to die after being finned.

Posted: May 28th, 2010, by kim

Are you concerned and confused about travelling to Ko Lanta following the turmoil in Bangkok?

It has become impossible to read a newspaper or watch a TV news broadcast of late without noticing the recent turmoil in Bangkok. Many embassies have issued travel advisories advising against visiting Bangkok, and in some cases Thailand as a whole.
