Christian Roberts is the prime suspect when his wife, Allie, is murdered on their sloop in the Caribbean. Grief-stricken and unstable, he must evade arrest to fulfill Allie’s dying plea – to “save the sharks”. Shark finning has been decimating the species as the Asian demand for shark fin soup escalates. The disappearance of sharks from the ocean will threaten the entire marine ecosystem, and Allie’s dedication to stop the shark slaughter had been unshakable. Christian, reeling from the loss of his wife, steels himself to avoid arrest, determined to honor Allie’s wish. With help from his friend, Vince Florio, Christian attacks those responsible. Under the guise of an eco-terrorist calling himself Captain Nemo, he uses brutal vigilante tactics to eliminate shark fin soup from every restaurant menu in the world. But those who are amassing great fortunes from this Asian specialty will not be easily stopped. Nor will the FBI agent hounding Christian’s every move.

"In the Seychelles, sharks are considered prone to over-exploitation and population collapse due to their life history characteristics. As highlighted in the Seychelles NPOA Shark 2007, the shark stocks of Seychelles, like many around the world in recent years, have been the subject of concerns to the sustainability of current exploitation. The practice of "finning" in the past was common. But today, shark finning has been shown as a non-sustainable practice. Today, this practice is almost completely abandoned on board. However, Seychellois think that efforts should continue. Seychelles authorities approached SmartFish programme for a support to develop awareness raising on the national situation in Seychelles, where there is still a danger that coastal sharks species that are targeted for finning."--Publisher's description.

During a storm, Jesus appeared on a blue tarp upon the deck of The Vinnie Maru, demanding that agent Bernie Benedict find him a date. _____________Shark Fin SoupA tale of sharks, gods, cannibals, mad cows and endless love. __________________ Since bygone days, two ancient Pacific cannibal tribes have fought over which of their respective shark gods should rule the Seven Seas. Today, the 3000-year-old Melanesian war has reached the shores of the US. 'Word on the street' has it that the shark gods and their peckish followers are gearing up for a final, pay-per-view televised battle which will take place in Jamai-ca Bay, NY, on New Year's Eve. Leading up to the match, Interpol agent Bernie 'The God Whisperer' Bene-dict and his paranormal crew are watching the body count stack up along US wa-terfronts. (And Jesus still wants a date.) Soon, our hero finds himself in dangerous waters as he becomes the 'prize' in an over-heated mating game between two powerful deities - the luscious, lust-ful, Fijian shark goddess, Dauna, and her friend, Artemis, the majestic,'virgin' goddess of the hunt and moon. Join the merriment as our hero, Bernie, through divine whoopie, is trans-formed into Cupcaecius, a deified dead ringer for the debonair screen legend Cary Grant. "Please tell me you're proud of me, darling. You're looking at the first new god on Olympus in over five-thousand years!"

A group of traders huddles around a pile of dried shark fins on a gleaming white floor in Hong Kong. A Papua New Guinean elder shoves off in his hand-carved canoe, ready to summon a shark with ancient magic. A scientist finds a rare shark in Indonesia and forges a deal with villagers so it and other species can survive. In this eye-opening adventure that spans the globe, Juliet Eilperin investigates the fascinating ways different individuals and cultures relate to the ocean’s top predator. Along the way, she reminds us why, after millions of years, sharks remain among nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures. From Belize to South Africa, from Shanghai to Bimini, we see that sharks are still the object of an obsession that may eventually lead to their extinction. This is why movie stars and professional athletes go shark hunting in Miami and why shark’s fin soup remains a coveted status symbol in China. Yet we also see glimpses of how people and sharks can exist alongside one another: surfers tolerating their presence off Cape Town and ecotourists swimming with sharks that locals in the Yucatán no longer have to hunt. With a reporter’s instinct for a good story and a scientist’s curiosity, Eilperin offers us an up-close understanding of these extraordinary, mysterious creatures in the most entertaining and illuminating shark encounter you’re likely to find outside a steel cage.

This volume explores China’s cultural heritage ideology and policies from three interrelated perspectives: the State and World Heritage tourism; cultural heritage tourism at undesignated sites, and the cultural politics of museums and collections. Something of a cultural heritage designation craze is happening in China. This is new within even the last five to ten years. Officials at many levels now see heritage preservation as a means for commoditizing their regions. They are devoting new resources and attention to national and international heritage designations. Thus, addressing cultural heritage politics in a nation dedicated to designation is an important project, particularly in the context of a rapidly growing economy. This volume is also important because it addresses a very wide range of cultural heritage, providing an excellent sample of case studies: historic vernacular urban environments, ethnic tourism, scenic tourism, pilgrimage as tourism, tourism and economic development, museums, border heritage, underwater remains, and the actual governance and management of the sites. This volume is an outstanding introduction to cultural heritage issues in China while contributing to Chinese studies for those with greater knowledge of the area.

At once feared and revered, sharks have captivated people since our earliest human encounters. Children and adults alike stand awed before aquarium shark tanks, fascinated by the giant teeth and unnerving eyes. And no swim in the ocean is undertaken without a slight shiver of anxiety about the very real—and very cinematic—dangers of shark bites. But our interactions with sharks are not entirely one-sided: the threats we pose to sharks through fisheries, organized hunts, and gill nets on coastlines are more deadly and far-reaching than any bite. In Sharks and People acclaimed wildlife photographer Thomas Peschak presents stunning photographs that capture the relationship between people and sharks around the globe. A contributing photographer to National Geographic, Peschak is best known for his unusual photographs of sharks—his iconic image of a great white shark following a researcher in a small yellow kayak is one of the most recognizable shark photographs in the world. The other images gathered here are no less riveting, bringing us as close as possible to sharks in the wild. Alongside the photographs, Sharks and People tells the compelling story of the natural history of sharks. Sharks have roamed the oceans for more than four hundred million years, and in this time they have never stopped adapting to the ever-changing world—their unique cartilage skeletons and array of super-senses mark them as one of the most evolved groups of animals. Scientists have recently discovered that sharks play an important role in balancing the ocean, including maintaining the health of coral reefs. Yet, tens of millions of sharks are killed every year just to fill the demand for shark fin soup alone. Today more than sixty species of sharks, including hammerhead, mako, and oceanic white-tip sharks, are listed as vulnerable or in danger of extinction. The need to understand the significant part sharks play in the oceanic ecosystem has never been so urgent, and Peschak’s photographs bear witness to the thrilling strength and unique attraction of sharks. They are certain to enthrall and inspire.
