Our dive trip to the Maldives was fantastic! We are delighted that the government has taken this step to ban shark finning. Thank you for your positive action on behalf of sharks.

I plan to take a live-aboard to see your beautiful reefs.

These are magnificant animals and very slow reproducing. Continued taking of them will upset all the balance of the oceans. Haven

Having dove Maldives twice in the last few years on the MY Manthiri, I certainly encourage the Maldivian Gov't to ban the killing of all sharks...The abundance of manta Rays (sharks) keeps me wanting to come back.. Terry F

Fishing and killing anything that is intelligent is wrong especially sharks since they keep balance in the ocean

This NEEDS to work. We are losing so many sharks each year. Millions and Millions of sharks. DO they deserve this? NO! Have a Heart, people. Think about the planet. Think about Sharks. If you were a shark, with the conscious awareness you have as a human being, would you like to have your friends killed....or maybe even you, just because some gross humans wanted to eat your fins?
