Liquid Lounge Tune in on Wednesday at 1 PM - www.BlogTalkRadio.com/kenenglish for a program focused on the waterside of the world. I am producing a six minute segment during Eddy Edward's Caribbean Riddims every Saturday at 4:30 PM on 1360WKAT in Miami and realized I should expand it and spend more time on topics such as the International Year of the Reef, shark-finning, eco-tourism, music and art. Liquid Lounge began it's run as an internet radio program on February 13, 2008.
Sense of Perspective Over the years, I've developed an appreciation for the environment. I guess it's a case of 'you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone,' but I see changes that are of great concern. So, a lot of my online marketing has an environmental theme. I was in the snow ski business in New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the '70s, when it got cold by Thanksgiving, and stayed that way until Easter. Now, winters are generally milder and shorter, but more extreme. I discovered South Florida in early 80s, when I got into the cruise industry. At that time, Carnival had one ship. Now, it is the most dominant cruise line in the world with 22 ships marketed as 12 brands. I learned to scuba dive in a rock quarry in New Jersey when Jacques Cousteau was swimming with the fish in his undersea world. Now, Jacques is gone, and so too are most of the fish. We slaughter seals in Canada, for no apparent reason. We kill sharks to make soup with their fins, like that's a good reason. Or, we just catch and kill, and call it sport-fishing. This is wrong, isn't it?
According to a March 2007 report from the Environmental News Network, at the present rate of consumption, the stock of edible seafood will be depleted by 2048.
