Caribbean Countries Agree to Protect Endangered Largetooth Sawfish

June 6, 2019

ROATÁN, Honduras, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, on World Environment Day, the critically endangered largetooth sawfish gained a lifeline as Caribbean countries unanimously agreed to add the species to Annex II of the Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW) Protocol under the Cartagena Convention. Seventeen member governments are thereby obligated to impose strict national protections for the species and cooperate regionally to recover populations.

“We are pleased that governments from across the Caribbean have seen the value of saving the iconic and irreplaceable largetooth sawfish from further regional extinction,” said Olga Koubrak, legal advisor for Sealife Law. “Sawfish are among the world’s most endangered marine species and urgently need strict legal protections wherever they remain.”

All five sawfish species worldwide are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List. Largetooth and smalltooth sawfish were once common in the Caribbean but are now seriously depleted. The smalltooth sawfish was added to SPAW Annex II in 2017. Caribbean countries thought to still have sawfish in their waters include the Bahamas, Cuba, Colombia, and Costa Rica. The level of national sawfish protection varies, however, and regional conservation initiatives are lacking.

“Today’s decision is warranted and welcome, as time is running out for sawfish,” said Sonja Fordham, president of Shark Advocates International. “The success of this measure depends on prompt and robust implementation of associated conservation commitments. We thank the Netherlands for proposing sawfish listing and urge continued engagement to ensure sawfish protection programs are developed across the Caribbean, before it’s too late.”

Found globally in warm waters, sawfish can grow to nearly 20 feet. Like other rays, low reproductive rates leave them exceptionally vulnerable to overfishing. Incidental catch is the main threat to sawfish; their tooth-studded snouts are easily entangled in nets. Despite increasing protections, sawfish parts are used for curios, food, medicine, and cockfighting. Habitat degradation also jeopardizes survival.

Sealife Law (SL) brings legal information and education to ocean conservation. Shark Advocates International (SAI) advances science-based policies for sharks and rays. SL and SAI have joined with marine researchers from Havenworth Coastal Conservation (HCC), CubaMar, and Florida State University to form a Caribbean sawfish coalition, supported by the Shark Conservation Fund. SAI, HCC, and CubaMar are projects of The Ocean Foundation.

Ismael Cala and experts to hold seminar in Miami on “The business of being you. The School of Entrepreneurship.”

June 6, 2019

The aim is to develop skills for creating businesses, adapting to circumstances, achieving autonomy and financial independence and monetizing passion.

MIAMI, June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ismael Cala and a group of experts will hold a seminar in Miami on July 18 – 20, on “The Business of being you. The School of Entrepreneurship” (“El negocio de ser tú. Academia de Emprendimiento”), aimed at helping participants to develop an entrepreneur’s mentality to take things from paper into action.

Nowadays, the foundations of successful entrepreneurship are essential. In the United States, immigrant residents have founded more than 40% of the country’s businesses, according to a report by the Partnership for a New American Economy. Notable among them are: Apple, Google, AT&T, Budweiser, Colgate, eBay, General Electric and IBM.

But also, according to a study by Forbes, eight out of ten new businesses don’t last more than 18 months; that’s a failure rate of 80%.

For this reason, the seminar “The Business of being you. The School of Entrepreneurship” (“El negocio de ser tú. Academia de Emprendimiento”) has invited the participation of experts in marketing, communication, technology, finance, optimization, profitability and personal branding, among other subjects and areas of specialization. The aim is to develop skills for adapting to circumstances, achieving autonomy and financial independence, and monetizing passion.

Among the experts are Piter Albeiro, Juan M. Barrientos, Carlos Jiménez, Vilma Núñez, Francés Ríos, Carlos Jiménez, Jacques Giraud, Pablo Suárez, Darys Estrella, Carlos Mazo, Rafael de Cárdenas, Luis Barrios and Irma Martínez.

The seminar is particularly, though not exclusively, addressed to leading entrepreneurs, influencers, professionals from all industries, students and anyone else undergoing a process of transformation and reinvention, whether or not they are currently employed.

“Entrepreneurs are people with tremendous energy, persistence and determination, who believe in themselves enough to move forward with an idea or a dream. In this world where change is constant and migration is on the rise, “starting over” has become commonplace, even for people who used to be established. But any project requires a great deal of preparation,” Cala explains.

Westfield Business School is an ally and official sponsor of the event. Its president, Carlos Mazo, will give a talk on leadership and entrepreneurship, based on his institution’s success stories, and his own personal history.

Date: July 18-20, 2019
Place: Miami Airport Convention Center (Miami, U.S.A.)

California Cling Peaches: Affordable Nutrition in Every Package

June 6, 2019

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The growers of California Cling Peaches are reminding consumers and nutrition professionals that California Cling Peaches in cans, jars and plastic cups have the same or better nutrition than fresh, according to studies by Oregon State University and Michigan State University. Canned California Cling Peaches also contain less sugar per serving of fruit than other choices and deliver more nutrients for less money than fresh and frozen peaches.

Details on the university studies can be accessed here: https://californiaclingpeaches.com/nutrition

Helping Consumers Choose Better, Eat Smarter

By spreading the word of these little-known facts and surprising benefits, the California Cling Peach Board hopes to help U.S. consumers make healthier food choices. According to fourth generation Cling peach grower and PR Committee Chair, Anthony Laney, persuading consumers to change their long-held beliefs and behaviors is the key to ending America’s obesity epidemic.

“Other contributing issues include low affordability and availability of fresh fruit options for many Americans,” Laney said. “We’re not knocking fresh fruit. But we are saying look at the alternatives because, in the case of canned California Cling Peaches, they’re just as nutritious, more economical than fresh and are available all year long.”

About the California Cling Peach Board

Founded in 1996, the California Cling Peach Board is a California State Marketing Order, issued in furtherance of the desire of California’s cling peach growers to create an environment that enhances the use of cling peaches through promotion, advertising, consumer education, production and marketing research, establishment of grades and standards, and compilation of industry statistics. California Cling Peaches are picked, packed and shipped at their peak of ripeness and available from your grocer year-round in cans, single-serve cups, and jars.
