Hello, I just subscribed to the GASP and Paddlewise email lists. I had heard that there was going to be a kayak shark fishing competition(for the largest shark landed)in La Jolla Cove(San Diego), California. Has this contest already taken place? I am against such a "kill" competition. My perspective on shark conservation is presented in the shark finning article which I had recently co-written for the August issue of "Discover Diving" Magazine(the Web link for this article is included below). Lastly, to anyone kayaking in La Jolla Cove, please know that there have been several larger white shark sitings of late(most likely due to the increased pinniped population in La Jolla Cove). Of course the risk of shark attack is rare, but I felt it my obligation to let you know anyway. Forwarded: The following is the Web Link to the Shark Finning Article (that I had co-written) in the August Issue of "Discover Diving" Magazine (photographs included, so it may take some time to load!): http://www.westpacfisheries.net/genocide1.html The upcoming "The Aquanauts" series (which was shot at various venues around the world) debuts on Discovery's "Animal Planet" channel on September 27th, 1999 (at 7:30 PM throughout the USA). "Aquanauts" will air overseas as well.
