Poaching, commercial fishing, and medical demands for sharks are causing the rapid deterioration of shark…

We were fishing with a drop…

This area is located in the first rows of the aquatic stadium located in many marine parks. I remember growing up thinking marine animal shows were the most entertaining event at the park. Killer whales and dolphins jumped above the water and performed many difficult tricks their trainers commanded. Like many people, I have shared many great experiences with family and friends at…

The height of Louie’s determination began as he came free from restraints binding him to a sinking plane and out into the open waters of the Pacific.

The manta ray is a flat fish that lives in salt water. The Ray is 7-9 metres wide and is around 1350 kg. The fish eats plants and smaller fish.

By having this influx of lower-food-chain animals…
