Monday, March 23, 2009. Canada Opens 2009 Seal Hunt. CHARLOTTETOWN, Canada, March 23, 2009. It is that time of year again when Canada is thrust into the international spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Canada's commercial seal hunt is the largest hunt for marine mammals in the world. Sealers are allowed to kill 280,000 harp seal pups this year, provided they have begun to molt their white coats, which occurs when the animals are about two weeks old. Posted by Oceanic Defense.

Friday, April 24, 2009. Ban on seal products coming! BRUSSELS, April 24 (Reuters) - European ambassadors approved a European Union plan to ban imports of furs and other products from culled seals on Friday. Moving the 27-nation bloc one step closer to a trade clash with Norway and Canada. Both seal-hunting nations have warned the EU in recent weeks that they could challenge the EU ban at the World Trade Organization, the global trade watchdog, if it takes shape as currently foreseen. The 15 seal species ...

Thursday, May 7, 2009. Canadian Politicians Sink to All-Time Low. It has come to our attention (thanks Marlene) that in the wake of an overwhelming vote by the EU to ban all Canadian Seal Products that federal officials continue to swing their political hakapiks suggesting that our Olympians wear seal products. To support their country and its "heritage" during the 2010 winter games in Vancouver. Cast your vote by going here: http:/ www.cknw.com/. Posted by Oceanic Defense. Links to this post. The decisi...

Oceanic Defense: Sharks Murdered for Ego and Bragging Rights
http://oceanicdefence.blogspot.com/2009/05/sharks-murdered-for-ego-and-bragging.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Sharks Murdered for Ego and Bragging Rights. Sarasota, Florida May 15-17, 2009. The despicable act of killing sharks for no reason came to the shores of Sarasota Florida in this annual ego stroke. The Sarasota Shark Tournament sees entrants fish and kill sharks for nothing more than a trophy and bragging rights. In our opinion this is even LOWER than the shark fin trade because this sharks are completely wasted. 100% of their bodies are discarded once they are weighed.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Craig Clasen - A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words. Have you ever heard that expression a picture is worth a 1000 words. Well we thought we would supply you with two sources - both from Clasen and his roving band of shark hunters. 1) a quote directly from Clasen's mouth. 2) the photo they took shortly after brutally killing the Tiger Shark. Neither do we. Looks like one frame away from chest thumping to this editor. We'll continue to expose this shame and push for publicity. Clasen a...

Oceanic Defense: Call for fishing ban in a third of oceans
http://oceanicdefence.blogspot.com/2009/04/call-for-fishing-ban-in-third-of-oceans.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Call for fishing ban in a third of oceans. A third of the world's oceans. Must be closed to fishing. If depleted stocks are to recover, scientists and conservation. Groups have warned. Such a measure could "set the clock back 200 years" and reverse the decline in fish populations, after which responsible fisheries management could regenerate the industry. As stocks within MPAs recover, the eggs and larvae of fish are carried on ocean currents to fishing grounds, Roberts explains...
