iSea would like to express its deep concerns following the recurring shark fishing and display incidents that are published in electronic media and social platforms throughout Greece. Sadly, the above publications contribute to an already grave situation, in which rare and threatened marine and terrestrial species face unreasonable and irrational human violence. Unfortunately, the incidents are more than many, such as the wide publicized poaching of the threatened chamois Rupicapra rupicapra in mountainous Pindos, the deliberate killing of Mediterranean monk seal with a shot gun and the decapitations of loggerhead sea turtles in the Cyclades, and the strandings of dead dolphins, bearing wounds irrefutably caused by sharp instruments.
