Travel Haiku - Strait Of Gibraltar Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Strait of Gibraltar
yes the chinese lucky eight
eight miles for life to prevail

Just eight miles across at its narrowest point, the Strait of Gibraltar is a meeting point: Atlantic and Mediterranean, Africa and Europe, ships and wildlife. It is so narrow that it's actually divided into lanes, the northern side for eastward traffic, the southern for westward. Wildlife doesn't follow these rules, however, and this important migratory conduit for sharks, dolphins, and bluefin tuna—among the world's most threatened seafood species—can be treacherous.
