Good News for Sharks!

Who'da thunk that Mexico would lead the way in environmentalism? In an email sent to me by Patric Douglas, the CEO of Shark Diver (the outfitter who ran my great white shark diving adventure), I learned that our friends south of the border recently passed landmark regulations protecting the most feared of ocean denizens. Granted, Mexico stands to earn some top tourism dollars from this feat of altruism, but if all other countries heeded this lesson, think of all the species that would reap the benefits -- not to mention the locals who could make a buck (or two) on us eco-loving tourists.

¡Viva México!
