Steven Munatones, I have NEVER received an e-mail from you, and you did not even reply to a message I sent you on Facebook. You were immediately very defensive to me when I simply asked on your FB wall if you saw any sharks killed.
It all smells like day old shark bait because it does not add up > I spoke with a member of the media who was present and told me they directly witnessed Charles Ebanks baiting, luring, hooking, and killing 2 Oceanic Whitetip sharks, and that he proudly claimed he killed a third. Ebanks has a reputation on the islands with divers and marine conservationists as a shark hunter/killer, and to quote the marine biologist who runs the Oceanic Whitetip tagging study: "If it swims in the sea, Ebanks kills it."
Moving forward this unfortunate incident has a positive side, it has brought the need to protect our sharks to the forefront, and will lead a strong path for new laws and protection for Oceanic Whitetips and all sharks in Cayman waters. We want these sharks fully protected, Oceanic Whitetips are on the Big List; there is a huge campaign going on in FL right now and very soon there will be NO fishing of Tigers and Hammerheads in FL waters. Working in close partnership with SHARK SAVERS and my SWIMMING FAST - FOR THE SHARKS! project to do a shark awareness swim/campaign in the Cayman Islands: FASTEST BRIDGING OF CAYMAN BRAC TO LITTLE CAYMAN: For the Sharks!
