Anything that can help the destruction of our oceans is worth a try, Viva Panama 🇵🇦 for proposing increased protection of requiem sharks. Panama’s geographic position and abundant mangrove ecosystem allows for a perfect nursery fir sharks and marine creatures. We are thrilled that the Panamanian government has stepped it up ⬆️ a good work Mahalo @shawnheinrichs for the video

The ocean is not an amusement park
Is not Disneyland.
Many times not a safe place for humans.
One of the few times I’ve been scared for my own life and ( the life of others ) is when I encountered a very angry stripped marlin
I was in a secluded island swimming with leviathans when out of the nowhere this agitated bill fish appeared.
His colors were changing in front of our eyes his body swaying in the blue just ready to pierce … or attack
The day before this happened we had witnessed a very small fishing boat carrying a very large dead bill fish. The boat could barely float due to the extra weight. Coincidentally we were swimming near the spot we saw the boat carrying the dead female.
We are tough by science that bill fish are oviparous, that on mating time the female releases eggs and males release sperm and they meet and boom!! Babies are made.
Yes this true.
But what about the rest of their lives.
I’ve worked on boats here in Hawaii for three decades. I’m a fan of ocean tails and anything that can give me knowledge or education about our oceans. The stories are amazing
Fisherman are not evil people.
Fisherman have incredible amount of knowledge vie observation to share with the world. Combined with science we have a chance at understanding our ocean friends.
I was told that once full maturity is reached bill fish choose companions. That they had seen several times bill fish swimming in pairs.
Male and female and this is easy to determine due to the size difference between the two.
Females being almost twice as big as males.
Is it possible that this male bill fish was so upset over losing a companion and wanted revenge from us humans? It might be too much to fathom for some. To give animals human traits but my friends. I saw it.
The anger and the pain
Aloha!

It’s not enough we eat them
We have to torture them too?
If your tour guide does anything that disturbs the natural behavior of wild creatures please say something
Staying silent only perpetuates the situation
Now that you know this is wrong we hope you help educate everyone
