Exactly!!!

It’s really as simple as that.

Please take note.......

On March 5, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent warning to immediately stop using OUSPT full-face snorkel masks following reports of labored breathing, loss of consciousness, and allegations that the masks caused a drowning fatality. The warning states that carbon dioxide (CO2) buildup in the masks can "exacerbate the difficulty of breathing." While the 84,000 OUSPT masks sold on Amazon from March 2019 through February 2026 are the current focus of federal scrutiny, they may represent a "canary in the coal mine" for millions of snorkelers who are using other brands of full-face gear.

Earth doesn’t just have sharks — it needs them.

They keep ocean ecosystems in balance, protect coral reefs, and help maintain the health of our entire planet. Without sharks, the ripple effects would reach far beyond the sea.

This Earth Day, remember: protecting sharks means protecting Earth.

Please think before you buy so we don’t sustain this kind of market

One of the most heartbreaking images we've ever seen 💔

LETTER TO A SHARK

“I wish there were a way to tell you I’m sorry.
To tell you that not all humans are the same.

You were meant to be a noble, fierce giant, the queen of the ocean.

But we denied you that. We hunted you. We mutilated you. And when that wasn’t enough, we humiliated you. We cut away your fins and threw you back into the sea, leaving only a scrap of tail and condemning you to a slow death by exhaustion.

And yet, you proved us all wrong. You became more than a shark. You became a symbol of resilience, of survival, of the ocean’s will to live.”

This is the story of Fin. These photographs break my heart, and I’m sharing them in the hope that they break yours too.

If this moves you but you find yourself thinking, “What can I do about it?” I asked myself the same question, and I had no answer. So I asked my friend, marine biologist and shark researcher

Here is what she said:

“The less industrially fished seafood we eat, the better. This is the biggest threat to sharks, as they are often caught as bycatch. Most of the fish we eat isn’t fished sustainably.”

Donate to support shark science and conservation NGOs such as Stop Finning EU.

Sign petitions to protect the ocean. It is as easy as going online and filling out a form, but it can be very powerful.

And finally, support shark tourism. A live shark is better than a dead one, and right now they need all the help they can get.”

If the images and the story of Fin inspire you to take action on any of these things, then it wasn’t all for nothing. I have never felt such sadness for an animal before, and I hope this makes you pause, feel, and reflect on what we are doing to our world.

The ocean needs you more than you think.

Thank you for caring.

How happy are our guests today listening to the sound of Wales singing and then getting to see one of these guys up close and personal! shark the photo is for illustration only as we were too excited to remember we had a GoPro!

Here's something most visitors don't realize: when you throw fruit on the ground for a rock iguana, sand sticks to the wet food. The iguana swallows it all. That sand can't be digested. It builds up inside them, packing their intestines like cement — and it can kill them.

This isn't a theory. DECR officers and San Diego Zoo scientists performed a necropsy on an apparently healthy adult rock iguana from an area where illegal feeding was happening. What they found inside? 10 cm (4 inches) of compacted sand filling its lower intestines. Grape and strawberry seeds were found trapped in the impaction.

🔴 Sand sticks to wet fruit and fills their stomachs until it kills them
🔴 Supermarket fruit is too high in sugar — fed iguana populations in the Bahamas have become diabetic
🔴 Skewers and sticks used for feeding cause internal puncture wounds
🔴 Feeding disrupts natural behavior, increases aggression, and raises stress hormones
🔴 Leftover food attracts rats — which eat iguana eggs and babies

"Rrock iguanas naturally eat sea grapes and other fruit from trees and bushes — but you'll often see them ignore ripe fruit on the ground. They know that eating off the sand is dangerous. When tour guides throw food down for them, they're overriding that survival instinct" Simon Busuttil, Biosecurity Advisor for the TCI Iguana Partnership,

These iguanas are found NOWHERE else on Earth. They are the locals of the Turks & Caicos Islands. The best way to show them love? Watch them. Admire them. Stay on the boardwalk. And leave the snacks at home.
