Se os tubarões fossem homens

Texto de Berthol Brecht

Os tubarões das finanças

Julie Bell

Julie Bell é casada com Boris Vallejo e, para além de posar para os quadros do marido é também pintora. Do catálogo do casal, repesquei estas imagens: uma sereia, uma interpretação muito livre de um peixe vermelho, e um tubarão... diferente.

Um obrigado a Paulo Netto (Aido Bonsai) por me ter feito re-visitar o site de Boris Vallejo.

The European Union Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks

The European Commission's Action plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks [...] is based on the following three specific objectives:

• deepen knowledge both on shark fisheries and on shark species and their role in the ecosystem;
• ensure that directed fisheries for shark are sustainable and that their by-catches are properly regulated;
• encourage a coherent approach between the internal and external EC fishery policy for sharks.

Baseado num plano da FAO de 1999, tem por trás dele o poder negocial e financeiro da Comissão Europeia. Espero que resulte em melhorias tangíveis. É que estamos mesmo a bater no fundo... (v. paper de Myers & Worm, 2005)

Shark Waters

For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.

Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas.

Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
