What´s going on in Australia?

After the death of a surfer from a shark attack in November 2013 , the government of Western Australia has created and approved a plan to prevent such accidents and make local beaches safer for summer vacationers.
The plan is to reduce the population of white and tiger shark, capturing and killing those that measure more than 3 meters and delve into two defined areas near the beach of Perth.
This measure has outraged thousands of people who have spoken out against the authorities, because despite the lack of scientific evidence that killing sharks will reduce the risk of attacks on swimmers, has been given the green light to licensed fishermen to carry out the plan which will last until April 30 of this year.

How can you help prevent the slaughter of sharks?

Did you know that...?

The small republic of Maldives in 2009 conducted the first underwater Ministral meeting , the cabinet of the island, located in the Indian Ocean, was taking diving lessons in preparation to celebrate this underwater meeting where a document calling for a reduction in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere will be signed.

About ten ministers dove inside and placed around a table in a form of a horseshoe, all accompanied by their instructors. Then symbolically adopted a resolution calling for global action to achieve a reduction of CO2 emissions .

Underwater, the government signed a document calling on all nations to reduce their carbon emissions. Organizers of the conference say they want to highlight the risks of increased carbon in the atmosphere and encourage world leaders to commit to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million.

About 80% of the archipelago of the Maldives is less than one meter above sea level and is extremely vulnerable to any rise in sea level due to global warming melting polar ice caps.
