Our Mission: Protect the Oceans and our Environment |
|
|
|
DivingTravel.Com has a
strong commitment to the protection of our Oceans and the Environment as a
whole. We strongly believe that scuba divers worldwide should be the best
ambassadors for our Oceans. It is common sense now to acknowledge the fact that our destiny as human being is directly connected to the destiny of the Seas and Oceans of our planet. Isn't it where we come from in the first place?... We have been diving for over two decades in numerous locations across the globe, and it is a matter of fact that environmental issues are becoming more and more a necessity for quick action! In some regions, we witnessed a near complete depletion of coral reefs and general fish supply in as short a period of time as 5 years!....Developing countries are even more at stake the western countries in the hands of greedy and ruthless politicians. The most urgent environmental issues to address worldwide are: industrial wastes, random and uncontrolled tourism projects development, over fishing, and fishing methods such as drift nets, dynamite fishing, cyanide fishing, and the reduction of the overall global fishing fleet, which is far too important to sustain ocean species reproduction. |

World Wild Fund (WWF) statement and campaign against overfishing: |
| |
|
In its 2002 campaign against over fishing, the WWF states: |
|
"You may not have noticed, but fish have gradually been getting smaller and smaller. There aren't enough adult fish in the sea to meet demand, so fishermen are catching baby ones. The fish on your plate probably didn't live long enough to reproduce, as a result the stock it came from didn't get a chance to recover. Scientists have been warning the politicians about the disastrous effects of over fishing for years, but the powers that be chose to stick their heads in the sand and think of the short term. Well now it's their last chance. This year (2002 ed note), ministers will vote on the future of the EU common fisheries policy. Unless they make radical changes, marine eco-systems will be destroyed and fish will become a rare delicacy. If we don't stop over fishing now, fishing will be over..." |

The major
problem our Oceans are facing is that they are not well respected by the
general public, being only a source of pleasure, income and feared as a
strong element.. We believe that only Non Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) like the WWF, Sea Shepherd and others have a certain power to bring States and
politicians to step down on important environmental issues such as the
over fishing problem among many others. |
