Cozumel September 2011

In September 2011, a team of divers visited Cozumel Mexico. Our goal was many fold. We all arrived Saturday the 3rd except for one diver who arrives Sept. 1st and departed on the 5th, while the remaining departed Sept 10, 2011. Our first full day was dedidcated to vsiting and hopefully getting into the water wih Whale Sharks. Our Second day (9/5) was spent hunting and harvesting Lionfish and the evening consuming them, ceveche style, kabobed and fried. The ceveche style was my favorite. Had a slght reaction to the toxin which made my throat swell slightly. The feeling was like the tiny bones found in anchivies. I recovered a few days later… Wednesday Afternoon I spend diving with the Marine Park Services hunting and filming lionfish for a documentary, separate from … Read entire article »

The Day All The Sharks Died

This is a short story from the book Shark Trouble by Peter Benchley in 2002 The Day All the Sharks Died by Peter Benchley Once upon a time, there was a seaside village whose people lived in harmony with nature. They made their living from the sea. They caught fish on the reef that protected the village from the full fury of ocean storms. They gathered clams and oysters, mussels and scallops from the bays and coves and inlets. Some they ate themselves; some they sold to the people in other towns and villages, from whom they bought necessities like light bulbs and clothing and radios and refrigerators and fuel for their boats and cars. Their biggest business, which employed the most people and brought … Read entire article »
