Palau bans shark hunting: UN General Assembly Sept 2009

From the General Assembly at the United Nations this week, some good news is announced for marine and fish conservation as a promise is made by Palau that it will ban shark hunting from its waters and become a Shark Sanctuary.

Fish of all stripes could use such support as this, and Palau plans to ask the world to join in such banning (good luck with that.)

A Message for All Fish and Sea Lovers:

Ahoy! You've floated into my Dreamyfish Art Gallery of botanical drawings of tropical fish ensnared within their most private dream scenarios.

Because, you know that fish dream, too, right?

So if you're looking for a drawing of a particular fish, scroll all the way down the sidebar column to view a Labels List.

Fish videos and Environmental News are included when time permits, and Save Our Oceans! is a constant refrain in these waters.

Many of the color-penciled fish portraits in this collection are drawn from photos of the colorful denizens found in the seas of Western Australia. Or one can hope.

So thanks a bunch for swimming by,
