Petition: Protected area in the Canaries

The sharks are a endangered species and, although people don't realise it, a crucial part of the ecosystem. Here's a spanish petition to create a protected area in the Canaries, not only for sharks as also for rays and chimaeras. It's an alternative in order to protect the species of being hunted for their flesh or derivatives (such as the their fins and liver oil).

In you want to help the these animals, sign here.

And I'd like to share a comment from the creator of the petition - Suso Rodas: 

"S.OS sharks and rays in the Canaries: 

In our waters are being committed many atrocities, and many of them only hint at the enormous degree of barbarity and callousness that we can have with the natural environment around us. I think by now we can not speak of ignorance or simple ignorance.

Every day, dozens of tourists are led in charters (recreational fishing collective list 6th) to catch various species of fish, some of them very important for the sustainability of our marine ecosystems and whose populations are threatened with extinction, as is for angels, stingrays, stingrays and other sharks."
