| | CDNN :: NAUI's Jim Bram Kills Eco Article |
 | | The article, written by NAUI instructor and professional marine biologist Dr. William Alevizon at the request of Sources Editor Peter Oliver, had already completed the full editing and revision process and been sent to layout when somebody ordered Oliver to kill the piece. |
 | | Bram, the president of NAUI, has declined to respond to CDNN's repeated requests to explain why the article was canceled at the last minute, who killed it, whether Bram's position as a DEMA board member was a factor, and where exactly NAUI stands on shark feeding. |
 | | According to Alevizon, NAUI originally requested articles from both sides because they felt is was an important issue their members needed to be informed about, however, representatives of commercial shark feeding tour operations declined to provide an article unless it was published unopposed. |
