Cocos Island Costa Rica

NATGEO visited Cocos Island in Costa Rica during September and October 2009 to study its wild life on the island and its submarine life. The scientifics say that never saw such a high shark  poblation density, and think this may be the highest thet ever witnessed before.

They assume that the reasson for these large schools of fishes in general, happen to be because of the marine richness and unbelievable biodiversity in Cocos Island, and that  the better proof of it is the amazing quantity and size of fishes all around.

National Geographic had the time too to witness and film the so called pouching or better known as shark killings, just for their fins, practiced the most by foreign ships and many chinnese guys.

Though MARVIVA and the Guardcoast of Costa Rica are doing their best, our national security and other ONG have not enough personnal and resources to keep a 24 hours watch around Cocos Island.

We have decided to included a full collection of pictures and videos, something very rare in other sites, because they are more commercial. Our site wants to inform you in a diferent way, better said, in the way it really has to be. We will appreciate any colaborations with the world by including your pictures or videos in www.cocosisland.cr. You can send us a mail to info@cocosisland.cr  letting us know that you want to cooperate and we will give you an address to send your info.
