We’re all Connected and Affected
Directly or indirectly, we are all affected by Troubled Waters. Whether on a local, national or global scale, our reservoirs are shrinking, our lakes, ponds and rivers for wildlife are contaminated and our water is not safe for drinking. There is an unbalanced ecosystem in our world’s waters and we are all experiencing the results, but most importantly, our ocean’s wildlife is being affected. fishpond is taking action. Shark tournaments are one major factor in causing Troubled Waters and fishpond is responding to the senseless killings. Nearly 76 million sharks are killed annually, most just for their fins. Unconscionable numbers of these are strung as trophies in tournaments – at this rate it will be unlikely that these ancient species will survive.
fishpond has created Troubled Waters as a medium for explaining the issues that affect the water resources that are so important to our world and our sport. From time to time we are going to highlight issues that we feel need attention. Some of these issues you may not agree with, some of them you will. Our goal is just to inform others about where fishpond stands, and to hopefully have you join us to help make a difference.
