Hallo Martin,

 

danke für die Info, die über Umwege zu uns gekommen ist. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass du dich dafür engagierst, dass die Taucher sich von der Harpunenfischerei abwenden. Obwohl ich mit einer nachhaltigen Harpunen/Speer-Fischerei leben kann (ohne Pressluftfalsche), die von Einheimischen für den Eigenverzehr praktiziert wird, stört mich doch sehr, dass viele dies als spannenden Sport bezeichnen. Zudem haben viele keine Hemmungen, die Riffe respektlos und ignorant einfach leer zu fischen. Wie die Person von Beuchat zwar sagt, unterstützen sie nur die Apnoe Harpunenfischerei, doch ein Grossteil ihrer Produkte wird wohl eher für die destruktivere Variante verwendet. Zudem sollte es uns Tauchern doch am Herzen liegen, dass die Fische da bleiben, wo sie sind und wir sie täglich bestaunen können. Ich stör mich jedes Jahr von neuem an den vielen Harpunenangeboten an den Tauchmessen (abgesehen von der Boot, da sieht man fast oder gar keine solche Angebote). Ich hoffe, dass da bald ein Umdenken stattfindet. Wir waren soeben kürzlich mit Beuchat in Kontakt wegen einem Projekt. Da Beuchat jedoch stark in der Harpunenfischerei etabliert ist, kommen sie für uns als Sponsoren nicht in Frage, was wir ihnen auch so mitteilen werden.

 

Wenn gleichzeitig noch möglichst viele Taucher ihre Meinung dazu sagen, dann ist dies am effektivsten.

 

Vielen Dank für deinen Einsatz und liebe Grüsse

Dominic

remeber money kill all???

Dear E??,

 

There are many of us divers who dive because we love to watch maginificent fishes in their natural habitat. I am sure many of your customers believe in ethical practices of the sport, and more of them are diving because of the love for marine life and not for a living. There is a worrying trend that these awesome predators of the reef is in a fast decline worldwide. In most areas, killing of predator reeef fishes has become unsustainable. Hunting has become relentless, and it can disrupt the whole food chain off. That’s bad news not just for us who spend our own money to help conserve marine life for the community, it will also kill your market for scuba equipment. As breeding stocks for these fishes go, the other marine life also deteriotrate, as it is really a part of the ecosystem. Dive equipment companies like yours should support marine reserves and get updated on what is actually happening so you can also stop producing products that encourage sport fishing. You can promote handline fishing - it may not be flashy, but it follows the rules, pays the bills, and over time, will keep these great fishes in the water. It will also keep your company, too.

Dear Martin,

 

Let me explain you a little about spearfishing. Personally,  I’ve been living in Asia the last past 5 years, and I know how they practice spearfishing: Asian mainly use tanks, don’t respect any endangered species, etc. The respect of environment is not well shown with this practice. 

The spearfishing that Beuchat supports, is the “real” sport, it’s breath holding spearfishing, which has been practiced for centuries, many ethnics used to fish with an harpoon underwater with breath holding (Melanesia, Polynesia, Indonesian, etc.). Beuchat has been developing products (spearguns, diving suits etc.) to practice spearfishing in different waters (from tropical to cold). The competitions we support respect the environment, the endangered species, etc. Moreover all fishes are not wasted, they will be food to the competitors and family. Which is more respectful for a sustainable development than the dynamite fishing, over fishing or the shark fins fishing which you can encounter in Philippine’s waters, and even in other Asian countries water, and more.

Finally I hope with this explanation you can understand that Beuchat cares and is aware of our environment.

It will be my pleasure to answer you if you need more explanations or information on this matter.

Best regards,

E??
