Must be done to protect these animals

On route to his daily dive with these animals, @lonubreak @sharkislanddive is instead confronted with this heartbreaking scene in @fuvahmulah.

Despite a shark fishing ban in the Maldives, more and more devastating reports are coming in from concerned locals around the entire country who rely on the health of the sea, and promote shark diving tourism.

More MUST be done to protect these animals.

More coming soon, but in the meantime, perhaps @mofmramv @policemv @tourism.mv could comment?

Dragging this large butchered up silver tip shark onto the beach was not the way I wanted to start my morning! Some fisherman still dont see that sharks are worth far more alive than like this! A sad and heartbreaking day here on Fuvahmulah. Shark fishing is illegal here but some people just dont care. More work is needed to keep our sharks safe!
