- Sea Festival 2007 : How many left?
Hanoi - With Vietnam's scuba diving capital of Nha Trang hosting a week-long maritime festival, a local marine biology expert said Tuesday the area could lose all of its coral within 30 years. "The coverage of coral in Nha Trang Bay shrank from 52.4 per cent in 1994 to 21.2 per cent in 2005," said Nguyen Van Long, head of the seafood resource department at the Nha Trang Oceanography Institute.

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 09:19:00 GMT - Deepest Wreck Female Diver in the World.
A Briton who gave up her job as a lawyer to pursue a career in watersports has claimed the record for the world’s deepest dive on to a wreck by a woman. Nina Preisner, 37, took just four minutes to reach a depth of 525ft (159.8m) but her ascent was an agonisingly slow three hours as she had to make frequent stops to decompress. Her dive to the Jolanda, a Cypriot cargo vessel that sank in the Red Sea, broke the previous record by more than 50ft (15m).

Hunted for food, medicine and souvenirs, sharks are in serious decline. Love them or loathe them, as top predators, sharks play an important role in the marine ecosystem — their decline is symbolic of all that’s gone wrong in the oceans as a result of mismanagement and greed.
