Today is Endangered Species Day

I have just found out that today is ENDANGERED SPECIES DAY! Our vote clearly goes for endangered marine species, in particular SHARKS and RAYS. The recent decision to place hammerheads and Mantas on the CITES Appendix II was a step in the right direction, but much more work is required to educate people on the beauty and value of Sharks and Rays.
Angel Sharks (squatina squatina) are already on the 'RED LIST' of the IUCN, locally in the last ten years Striped Grunts have disappeared from the Arinaga area, and we can see that other populations are 'fragile' (Spiny pufferfish, rays, scrawled filefish, triggerfish) and only seen rarely.
So next time you come diving in Gran Canaria, cast your vote for more conservation, and help the fight to prevent the loss of some of the most thrilling creatures to dive with in the Canaries.
