I am here for Networking

About Me

We have a lot of talented people interested in working with us. Designers, musicians, photographers, editors, video people etc.
This is a temporary 'working space'.
We will be using this space to publicize the awful truth about Shark Fin Soup.
The issues:
1) Punching through the bogus cultural issues. Nature not Nationality...
2) Capitalizing on recent celebrity success: NBA star Yao Ming, Olympic Gymnast Li Ning, mainland pop star Liu Huan......
3) A indefinite moratorium on longline fishing.
4) Getting the other 454 (out of a total of 457) species of shark listed on CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) otherwise the killing will never stop.
( The latest (2003) IUCN red list of the 328 threatened sharks can be viewed here: http://www.elasmodiver.com/Redlist.htm )
