Interesting show! My daughter is a Univ. of Miami intern with the shark research team. Now I know exactly what she is talking about…and why she is so physically tired when she finishes a trip!
I loved this segment. The slaughter of sharks for their fins to make soup is unconscionable. I highly respect Mr. Hammerschlag and Mr. Shultz for thier effort to understand how this takes place to help minimize this practice. Additionally, they are bringing to light the delicate balance of the oceans ecosystems and how sharks play a vital role. In my view one is either a part of the problem or part of the solution..Bravo to all involved!!!
