Shark fin seen on lapsi reef

[camkev]

I have a friend who is into sharks,he just told me that mepa had asked him what are the impacts of doing tuna pens in malta long ago before they started getting tuna.He told me that he gave them a 15 page report and nobody gave a shit about it.Thay have pictures of tuna oil(zliga) which is that slime thats on the surface(and stinks a lot) that was 3 miles long.He told me that it's like telling sharks come here you have plenty to eat.So they new that this was going to happen.

of course they knew.....if I can make 1+1 then i suppose those who are in the know how and have the power to do something, know more than than  do..................cant accuse anyone but the tuna business runs in the millions.........

[sirena]

excuse my ignorance but where is lapsi reef??

[blueskip]

I was speaking to a tackle shop owner in Rhodes last year, who had a huge shark jaw hanging on the wall of his shop, & I asked where it had come from, he said it was from a shark caught about 500mts outside Rhodes Town harbour!
He said a friend of his has a helicopter, & he has told him that from the chopper he can see very big sharks following the fishing boats in as they are gutting their catch
With Rhodes & Malta being on the same latitude its little wonder you have them mothers swimming around, thats why I always swim nearer to the beach than the German tourists (who always seem to think its better out further)

I can confirm the Tuna Oil Slick.  i see it all the time when we're coming in to Land from the south east of the island.  if the sea is calm you can see it stretching for about 4-6 miles.  The next time it is really visible i'll try and take a snap shot of it.

the helicopter pilots and the AFM plane can see it very well I am sure........

I saw a program on the discovery chanel about sharks. They said sardinia, malta and tunis form and triangle and in the summer this area is the mecca for shraks.
