Shots In The Dark: The News, Underwater

The News, Underwater

My second-favorite website, UnderwaterTimes.com, has its list of the top 10 stories of 2006.

It includes:

1) the death of Steve Irwin
2) the death of Peter Benchley
3) the death of 23 to 73 million sharks per year, killed by the international shark trade, which goes to feed the Asian myth that shark fins are aphrodisiacs.
4) the first-ever video of a live giant squid

The oceans are in crisis; we must do better by them in 2007.
