Episode Highlights:The History of The Shark Conservation Fund (SCF)International CollaborationThe difference between a regular nonprofit and a pooled fund like SCFLee Crockett Bio:As executive director of the Shark Conservation Fund (SCF), Lee is responsible for designing and implementing programmatic and grantmaking strategies, managing SCF's grantmaking portfolio and staff, forming strategic partnerships with NGOs and other funders, fundraising, ensuring strong operations and governance, and representing the SCF to governments, NGOs, philanthropists, and the public.Prior to joining the SCF, Lee spent 20 years working on fisheries management at the state, interstate, federal, and international levels with both the US. Government and the non-profit sector. Most recently, he was the Director of U.S. Oceans for The Pew Charitable Trusts where he led Pew's efforts to establish policies to end overfishing and promote ecosystem-based fisheries management. Before joining Pew, Crockett was executive director of the Marine Fish Conservation Network, the largest U.S. coalition dedicated to promoting the sustainable management of ocean fish. Prior to that, he was a fishery biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service, leading agency efforts to protect essential fish habitat. He also served as a staff member of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.Crockett holds a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in biological oceanography from the University of Connecticut.Links:Marine Fish Conservation Network https://conservefish.orgShark Conservation Fund https://www.sharkconservationfund.org CITIES https://cites.org/eng/disc/species.php If you enjoyed this episode, listen to these as well: https://www.doyourgood.com/blog/88-elizabeth-basthttps://www.doyourgood.com/blog/95-Guide-Rahrhttps://www.doyourgood.com/blog/148-Sybil-Speak-The-Ins-and-Outs-of-Donor-Advised-Funds-and-Pooled%20Funds Crack the Code: Sybil's Successful Guide to Philanthropy Become even better at what you do as Sybil teaches you the strategies as well as the tools you'll need to avoid mistakes and make a career out of philanthropy.Sybil offers resources that include special free short video mini-courses, templates, and key checklists, and words of advice summarized in easy-to-view PDFs.

This was the first ever episode of The Wild Life back in 2017, and it was never supposed to happen. That's right, The Wild Life, as a podcast, was an accident. The result of a series of unfortunate events. But that's life, isn't it? It happens in the most unexpected of ways. I never imagined that this is where I would be today, and I'm so incredibly grateful for the experience and all those who have been a part of it, as guests, as listeners, and as people who believed in the work I was doing and helped me to succeed.The mystery of zebra stripes has long been a subject of debate, at least since the days of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Now, thanks to Dr. Tim Caro, a professor of wildlife biology at the University of California-Davis, we finally have our answer.Next week, we're exploring Shark Conservation with Alexandra McInturf!If you'd like to support the creation of this show, the blog, and my science communication efforts on social media, you can do so for as little as $1 per month at www.patreon.com/thewildlifePeace out, rainbow trouts!

Ever wondered what it's like to dive into the depths of the ocean and come face-to-face with one of nature's most majestic creatures? Join me on a thrilling adventure as we explore the fascinating world of sharks in the latest episode of "Remarkable People" with marine biologist and shark expert, Dave Ebert.

Sharks have survived five global mass extinctions yet, now, many of their species are endangered due to human activities and myths. Cristina Zenato works to reverse this. She is an ocean and cave explorer, shark behaviorist and expert, dive instructor, speaker, writer, and conservationist. She has helped to change the perception of sharks through the close encounters she has with these animals. They often allow her to pet them and even remove hooks from their mouths! Cristina was a vital player in helping to declare the Bahamas as a shark sanctuary when external fisheries were looking to come in and take them from Bahamian waters. She also works all over the world advocating for these often maligned creatures and for the conservation of the waters they live in.We talk about what it's like to, literally, have a shark in your lap, how it's crucial that we know that not all sharks are the same, the dangers sharks are facing, and what would happen to us if they are removed from the ecosystem.ResourcesHer website  Her nonprofit, People of the Water  If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!

We know that overfishing is the primary cause of global shark and ray declines. But, shark fisheries provide income and subsistence for many coastal communities. Inevitably, any regulation or conservation measure involving these fisheries must be culturally, socially and politically appropriate in order to be accepted, and to achieve this we need to work with and understand the people they will affect. Equally, there are many gaps in our knowledge relating to sharks and rays, including in their distribution, status and how they are traded. SOSF project leaders and marine scientists Alifa Haque and Nadia Rubio specialise in integrating local and traditional knowledge with ecological data to gain a bigger picture on what is happening to endangered species of shark and ray, and have gained a solid understanding of what limits the capacity and willingness of fishers to engage in conservation initiatives and policies. Host Isla sat down with them to discuss their work with fishers in the field, and how they are slowly building shark conservation programmes that work for the community.

Dr Leonardo Guida, shark scientist and shark conservation lead at the Australian Marine Conservation Society joins us in this episode to talk through a variety of topics ranging from personal experiences swimming and diving with our apex predators to the conservation efforts currently in place throughout Australia and across the globe.Leo is actively involved in many projects including the "Nets out now" call for shark nets to be removed throughout Australia, he .appeared in the documentary produced by Andre Borell Envoy Shark Cull which focuses on the subject.  Leo emphasises the indiscriminate targeting that hails from these antiquated defence systems with a prime example being that of a Humpback Whale being caught in a net only a few days prior to this recording, with a further 2 more whales entangled since.We also discuss the apparent movement of sharks from locations such as South Africa pushing further south, presumably due to climate change and rising water temperatures.  With larger predators such as Great Whites moving into locations inhabited by more docile species such as Grey Nurse Sharks, are they to become a new target for the larger shark and what impact does this have on the overall balance in the regions?Leo talks with such passion it's hard to break away from listening to his experiences, skills and knowledge across a wide spectrum of conservation.  Actively sharing his knowledge via social media, Leo regularly posts updates on what is happening within Australia and you can follow him via the links on the Scuba GOAT website.

In today's episode, Shark Tank, we revisit the intersection between real estate and aquatic conservation. We are excited to welcome back Bill McKeever, an ocean environmentalist, documentary filmmaker, and author. Bill was a well-regarded Wall Street analyst before turning his focus towards ocean conservation.  He has produced Emperors of the Deep, a documentary that takes us into the world of sharks, published a similarly titled book,  and is now focused on education, reef creation, and offshore farming. Bill is the founder of Safeguard the Seas, a nonprofit whose mission is to educate the public about the threats to the oceans and their wildlife through books and film. 

Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don't see sharks- Sylvia Earle Welcome to another great episode of the Caribbean Ocean Perspectives Series featuring Tadzio Bervoets, Director of the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance, a Network Organization that supports nature conservation on all six islands of the Dutch Caribbean and is involved in ensuring that some of the region's well-known MPAs such as the Bonaire National Marine Park and the Saba National Marine Park receive the necessary capacity and financial support. Tadzio recently co-founded the Caribbean Shark Coalition (CSC) in 2020 in response to international calls for enhanced, collaborative conservation efforts for sharks and rays in the Greater Caribbean region. The CSC is a collection of member experts from NGOs, local communities, intergovernmental organizations and governments, academia, and policy institutes working together to advance the study and conservation of sharks and rays found in the waters of the Greater Caribbean. The CSC has as its major goals and mission: To foster collaboration in shark and ray research, policy, and capacity building for conservation among stakeholders in the region, and to provide opportunities for knowledge transfer and data synthesis; To safeguard the long-term health of shark and ray populations in the region, and to promote the protection of critical habitat; To promote a sustainable future for these species as well as human livelihoods who depend on them. To effectively address ongoing and future areas of conservation and species management plans for countries and territories in the Greater Caribbean region; Greater collaboration and capacity building is fostered among and between actors and stakeholders in the Greater Caribbean region. Working with local scientists, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations and governments, we target capacity building for filling critical knowledge gaps through science, as well as the advancement of specific conservation actions. Tadzio is the first Dutch Caribbean Member of the Explorers Club for his contribution to Science in the Wider Caribbean Region and he is an experienced dive instructor who has recently started to use closed-circuit rebreathers to enhance his coral reef monitoring activities. In this episode, we discuss the importance of sharks in the Caribbean, the threats they face, data collection on shark populations and the role of the Caribbean Shark Coalition and the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance in protecting these species.

Discovery's Shark Week is their biggest rating week of the year and is quite the spectacle. The shows aim to inspire people to learn about sharks and understand how they work; however, is the program effective at communicating the right information?  A new scientific paper has been published to provide evidence that Shark Week has contained a lot of misinformation over the decades that they have been on TV. They also showed the lack of diversity in the hosts and the lack of experts in many of their programming.  Check out all of our episodes on www.speakupforblue.com Want To Talk Oceans?

A re-examination of the way we approach the shark attacks through the arming of surfers with essential shark knowledge. This podcast is a reading of the surfing guide to sharks written by myself with the help of oceanographers, scientists, surfers, and paramedics. This podcast will give you some information about sharks that may influence when, where, and how you enter the water to surf. The information in this podcast is essential for every ocean goer to know, yet our government and even surf life-saving groups fail to teach it. The fact that we share the ocean with dangerous apex predators on daily basis will finally be addressed in a way aimed to help you make informed decisions. This is a must-listen for surfers and shark enthusiasts. How do the sky, the rain, and the time of day affect the hunting habits of sharks? Why is a Great White colored the way it is and how does making their bodies warm makes them smarter? Where in a surf break do most attacks happen and how? The guide is here to not only address important questions but also to address the reality of sharks and the danger that sharing the water with them brings with it. Our biggest and best defense against shark attacks, in my opinion, is changing the way our society views them and understanding that what we need to defend ourselves comes in the form of knowledge.Surfing Guide Chapters:00:00 Intro03:30 - Surfing Guide Introduction06:22 - Environmental Factors07:41 - Bait Balls09:24 - Rainfall and River Mouths11:17 - Drop Offs and Deep Water12:25 - Water Temperature 15:06 - Whale Carcasses and Animal Remains 16:33 - Time of Day18:30 - Moon Phases20:10 - Why Do Sharks Attack Humans? 28:05 - Potential Steps To Avoid A Shark Attack29:49 - What to do if an interaction occurs31:15 - First Aid33:06 - Are shark nets or shark culls the answer?37:38 - Sharks and Blood39:36 - Sharks And You44:17 - Shark Deterrent Techniques47:35 - Conclusion Download the Surfing Guide To SharksTerra Australis Shark Attack Rescue VideoFollow Madison Support Project Hiu & Save SharksSupport the show (https://donorbox.org/project-hiu)

The story of 19-year-old hunter Helton joining me for two weeks. No land, no people. Sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, and living on a boat that is heading to sea to fish sharks with five Indonesian shark fishermen.No reception, never touching land, watching sharks being killed every day. I couldn't do it alone, I needed help filming, I needed help staying safe. Hunter was a guest on one of my trips but showed much promise with his shooting skills and desire to help the cause. So I took him with me. We went through a lot in those two weeks at sea. It was not an easy experience. In this podcast, we discuss everything that happened. If you'd like to see the film you can watch it in many places, Vimeo, Instagram, or Project Hiu's youtube. The film called “Bajak Laut” which translates to “bad men of the sea” shows you an insight like no other, to something no one attempted before us, being on board a shark fishing boat. Get in touch!

What started as a simple shoot in a country I refused to enter due to their decimation of sharks, would lead to one of the most influential and life-changing projects of my career. Headed by the shark fishermen themselves, Project Hiu is a way to change the future both above and below. This episode is facilitated by fellow podcaster and podcast producer Jules who will help me share with you the biggest and most unexpected turning point of conservation for me.  Project Hiu, "Hiu" being the Indonesian word for shark, is an initiative that aims to provide alternative income to fishermen in one of the largest shark fisheries in Indonesia, and the world. By hiring the shark fishing boats and their local crew, we sought to engage the fisherman in a very different role: tourism. The project started in the most peculiar way and as well as having a direct impact on the lives of sharks and the people fishing them, it has shaped the way many look at conservation and our enemies. This episode takes a deeper journey into the project that continues to change my life daily. *** ENTER THE GIVEAWAY ***We are giving away a Project Hiu shirt + a pair of Origin fins!

Lawrence is in charge of all things shark-related at the humane society of Australia. With his brilliant answers and explanations, he prepares us for any argument you could imagine getting into on behalf of sharks.Imagine heading up a court case against the Australian government on behalf of sharks and winning.  Well, Lawrence did. He comes up against every imaginable advisory and knows exactly what to say and how to say it. This episode is my personal favorite as it contains those little sound bites of information that just click. What can the average person do to help sharks? What's the most shocking thing happening to sharks right now?  Have populations boomed?  All these and more are answered in this episode and it could act as a guide for all those wondering how to best use their skills to help sharks. Perhaps the most important question being asked is how does one survive in a position like his? Let's find out how Lawrence takes on governments and wins.Get involved with Shark ChampionsGet in touch!

The film making fisheries nervous ENVOY: Shark Cull is giving the Australian public its first-ever, uncut view of the horrific shark control program that has plagued the Australian coastline for more than 30 years. Andre Borell, the film's creator, talks to me about the process of creating the film that finally exposes Australia's longest-running shark cull. Hidden under the guise of “bather protection”, the SCP aka "shark control program", involves a series of baited hooks and set nets that are designed to catch and kill sharks along Australia's coastline.Despite numerous other alternatives and the bycatch of dolphins, rays, turtles, and protected species, the program is still in operation. Andre Borell created this film in the hopes it would finally expose some of the data that has been hidden for too long. This was his first venture into filmmaking yet he managed to muster shark conservationists from around the globe, something that's never been done before. Check Out Envoy FilmGet in touch!

Sneaking me into auction rooms of fish markets, filling me in on the worse in the trade, and confirming all my fears of the shark industry my insider, William Bunker, tells all. Will comes from a background of carefully and sustainably sourced seafood, but before that, he witnessed some horrific things in the industry.  His help lead me to conduct several genetics and mercury tests on shark meat throughout Australia. When I started the testing, I had no idea what I would find. I certainly didn't expect to find multiple infractions. I didn't know I could walk down to a local store and buy a tiger shark steak, I never imagined finding the results of mercury levels in sharks that I did. In this episode, we talk about why eating shark is not just a bad idea for shark's health, but also for ours.Get in touch!

Referenced more than once in the surfing guide to sharks, scientist Alison Towner is an unreal source of information relating to the hunting habits of Great White sharks. From individual personalities to the threats they face, look no further for all you need to know about this species.As great whites are disappearing from notorious parts of South Africa where they have always dominated, the real question remains, why are we all still looking at Great Whites like the enemy and not the victim? In this podcast, open your mind to the new order of the food chain and the scary effects of losing this apex predator.Alison speaks of the many predators they have and answer some of my questions: how are commercial fisheries affecting their populations? And why do males act differently from females? As well as recounting the experience of being submerged underwater surrounded by great whites, Alison takes an inspirational journey of how science has guided her through Great White shark advocacy.  Alison Towner's InstagramExperience the Great Whites in South AfricaGet in touch!

What's a great white shark getting up to in 1000 meters of water? What happens when Dr. Michael Domeier went to sea to find out? In this episode, Doc shows a side of great whites you never knew existed. You may have seen him on TV, doing groundbreaking and controversial research on Great White sharks… You may have read him speaking his mind on behalf of the Great Whites that move through Hawaiian waters. For me, it was hearing him talk of the surprising and elusive movements of the Great White sharks at sea, in extreme depths, for extreme periods of time. Although we know a lot about the Great White shark, what we don't know could fill a book. The unreal insight into the mind and life of this scientist will change the way you look at many things. Doc talks real and raw about the causes at hand and isn't afraid to challenge me on any questions. From the discovery of white shark nurseries to the long-term tracking of pregnant females, this episode will contain many answers, but probably leave you with more questions.

Nicknamed the Great Wall of China, the Chinese fishing fleet that descended on the Galapagos in 2020 made news around the world, but what is it going to take to actually stop it?The fleet could be seen from space, spanning almost double the length of the Galapagos archipelago itself. The most frightening thing about the situation was the fact that this is not the first time, nor the only country, that has targeted the outskirts of the Galapagos marine reserve for fishing. The lack of control over the high seas is having an impact that is trickling down to communities such as those of the Galapagos Islands. Their beaches becoming filled with plastic waster from a fleet, not even visible from shore, and the local fish and shark populations that tourism depends on are being targeted. From inside Ecuador's government, we speak to senior advisor Jeff Leblanc. During this podcast, we cover not only some of the things that occur in our open seas at the hands of industrial fishing vessels but the laws that need to be changed and enforced to end it.Support Mare NostrumFollow Mare Nostrum on InstagramGet in touch!

Scientific superhero Diego talks about finding Mako shark in pet food, being in the room with illegal smugglers, giving authorities the ability to test shark fins for DNA and the general struggle of upholding the law when it comes to sharks. Columbian born Diego is not only the brains and brawn behind so many papers in regards to the fin trade and the collecting of samples on the ground, but was also behind the groundbreaking science featured in the Sharkwater Extinction film through the genetic identification of threatened shark species in pet food and beauty care products. In this podcast, he talks to me about the effects of Covid-19 on the shark fin trade, what it's like to live in China for a year collecting shark fins and how his work is revolutionizing the way we find illegal trafficking of shark fins from protected species. This particular podcast is a must-listen for anyone questioning their involvement in science VS conservation and anyone that needs to be inspired by the movements occurring to save the most threatened of the shark species.  Diego IG Handle https://www.instagram.com/diegocardenosa/Diego's Scientific Research https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/conl.12780-Get in touch!

In Australia, sharks aren't considered “animals” under the animal welfare legislation act. Therefore extreme acts of cruelty are commonplace. From the shark fin trade to the treatment of these animals, we lift the veil on Australia's contribution.   In this podcast, we look deep into the consequences of a system that doesn't protect these animals with the founder of shark conservation Australia, an environmental lawyer, and my best friend, Ashley Avci. Have we too much faith in our country to be a leader in the environmental sector, or are we contributing to the shark fin trade at a rate that will shock you?  From involvement in individual animal law cases to the creation of legislation bills designed to protect sharks, Ashley shares her insight into battling with the government to do more for sharks. Australians have for a long time been viewed as guardians of their wilderness, but as our attention grows on places like China and Indonesia for their contribution to the shark fin trade, this podcast will teach you that there is a grave need to look inward, to our own backyard for injustice. Support Ashley here

“If they take my life, don't take theirs.” - Mike CootsWords from a man who nearly lost his life to a shark but grew into one of their biggest advocates. As he recounts the details of his attack, he goes on to explain how the day he nearly lost his life to a shark, was the start of his life lived in service to the plight of the species.   A personal hero of mine, Hawaii-born and raised Mike Coots is the definition of inspirational. His story is not only important for surfers around the globe who fear the exact incident Mike lived through, but to shark advocates too. Let Mike explain how he became involved in the first legislation in the USA to make it illegal to ban shark fins and continues to defend sharks. And the journey of buying a foot online as a one-legged surfer.  Mike's attack itself could also be the key to unlocking so many clues as to why shark attacks happen. Could his attack have been the result of human negligence? Mike will teach us how to turn an enemy into a friend, if sharks have individual personalities and how the need for surfers to connect to sharks is not only relevant but potentially life-saving.  Connect with Mike here

Today we are joined by Pat Purkhiser. He is working with Fins Attached as well as Diventures at the moment. Before that he was a school science teacher. He also worked at the Henry Doorly Zoo in the giant aquarium. Over his entire diving career he has over 5000+ dives. He will be talking about his experiences with the ocean specifically with pollution and wildlife conservation.

Talking to a couple of rogues, the first I met a few years ago on my instructors course and the second only last year on a BlueOtwo dive holiday in the Red Sea. Over a beer we chat about how through the British military we’ve all been so lucky to have been involved with loads of expeditions and projects and increase our diving qualifications and experiences. Grab yourself a brew and listen to their interesting story. 

In this episode, we are diving deep with Fins Attached, an organization made up of scientists, companies, organizations, and people who are concerned with the health of the world’s oceans! We are going to be chatting with Alex Antoniou, CEO and Founder of Fins Attached as well as Adam Stogdill who is our Director of Products & Sr. Software Engineer here at GoChain.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Andy Cornish, Leader of WWF Sharks: Restoring the Balance. Sharks: Restoring the Balance is a global shark and ray conservation programme founded jointly by WWF and TRAFFIC.

CEO Ryan Orgera joins host Barbara Linstrom to talk about a Shark Conservation Campaign launched by SCCF to coincide with this summer's 32nd annual Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Before Ryan took over the helm at SCCF, he worked with The Pew Charitable Trusts in shark conservation, specifically in the reduction of international trade in unsustainable shark fins. He talks about his international advocacy work as well as his life-long love of sharks, going back to his childhood here in Southwest Florida, where he grew up on Lemon Bay in Charlotte County. Once a devout fan of Shark Week, Ryan shares how his lens shifted to a more conservation-minded perspective by the time he was in high school and has continued to shift ever since. He also relays how refreshing it felt to have Southwest Florida media embrace and cover the conservation angle SCCF provided for Shark Week. And, how shark conservation fits in with SCCF's mission to preserve and restore our aquatic and coastal ecosystems.

To celebrate shark week, Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Jordan Klepper, and shark scientist Jasmin Graham answer your fan-submitted Cosmic Queries about sharks – megalodons, shark attacks, the “science” of Sharknado, and more!

This episode was recorded on Sunrise Beach last week on the eastern coast of Australia and is part of a worldwide series I have been recording for a number of years regarding shark conservation. This episode features Dr. Leonardo Guida. In 2016 Dr. Guida completed his PhD at Monash University studying the effects of commercial fishing on shark and ray populations. He is the Australian Marine Conservation Society's Senior Shark Campaigner, leading their conservation campaign, "Shark Champions", in partnership with Humane Society International. Dr. Guida will talk about baited drum lines which currently draw sharks to be killed in the name of protecting humans as well as shark finning and the effects of commercial fishing on shark and ray populations.The ancestry of great white sharks is thought to date back more than 400 million years & modern sharks over 34 million years. Modern humans date back 200,000 years. Humans kill roughly 100 million sharks per year. Sharks kill 4-8 humans per year. Car accidents kill ~50,000 humans per year.

In episode 54 we speak with Stefano Ulivi, a man of Italy who has devoted his life to raising awareness of ocean conservation through underwater filming. Stefano describes the underwater world of the Azores, an island group off the coast of Portugal, where he leads scuba diving tours and films the amazing animals of this special place. We hear of Pico Island, a relatively new volcanic island that hosts huge schools of manta rays and many species of marine mammals. Stefano shares his story of finding his passion for the ocean and his perspective on the evident decline in shark populations due to overfishing and poor management. We hear of trips to Tonga and Baja California where Stefano interacted with a 2-week old humpback whale and a 'tornado' of huge fish. Stefano shares a ton of enthusiasm for protecting the ocean that we can all be inspired by. Thanks for sharing Stefano's ocean life with us. You can find pictures and video of Stefano on his Instagram page and Facebook. There is also some fun stuff on the This Ocean Life Instagram and Facebook pages. We are also on Twitter ranting about anything cool happening in the ocean. This episode is sponsored by Burnout Suncare.

In order to gather information on the Whale Shark population and their habitat, brand new technology is being utilized involving real-time satellite telemetry and behavior tags. Marine Biologist Rafael de la Parra will speak about Whale shark conservation through innovative science, Sunday at 3 p.m., as part of the Niabi Zoo's Conservation and Science Speaker Series. Zoo Members, Zoo Volunteers, & College Students (with Valid ID) can attend for no charge. Non-members can attend for $8 per person. There is no parking fee to attend. Rafael joined AM Quad Cities!

Monni and guests explore a new era of shark conservation, focusing on protecting the lesser-known ‘flat sharks’ and rays, such as sawfishes, angel sharks, wedgefishes stingrays and guitar sharks. Large coastal sharks have a greater exposure to habitat degradation and fishing compared to offshore and pelagic species, increasing their risk of extinction. Find out what mermaids’ purses tell us about the current distribution of these flat sharks, which include angel sharks living in the Canary Islands and around Welsh coast.

Just as with other large predators, from Grizzly Bears to Wolves, humans have hunted these species and in many regions of the planet have brought them to near or complete extinction. New scientific studies show the critical importance that those animals had and have on the ecosystems that they were or are a part of. As for the oceans, sharks play this critical role. There are over 400 shark species in the world, and in this episode we will hear about their function, their challenges, and what is being done to protect them. Guest:  Dean Fessler, Jr., Education Director, Shark Research Institute, Princeton, N.J.

The global numbers of sharks are dwindling dues to a number of problems. The PEW Charitable Trusts Global Shark Conservation is taking that concern to the world. Working with government leaders, scientists, fisheries experts, diplomats, and even survivors of shark attacks, Pew works to highlight the plight of sharks from overfishing and to urge countries to take action to conserve them. This week on the NAUI Dive Team Report host Greg Martin talks with KerriLynn Miller from the Shark Conservation Campaign. Join them for an inside look at what one group is doing to help save the shark.

When it comes to sharks, plenty organisations have one thing in common, they pretend. They claim this or that but once you start digging you realize that they don't really do anything. Just writing about the plight of sharks and point a finger at a person or a group of people who contribute to the devastation of sharks does not qualify to be an activist group. It is one thing to write about a cause, and quite another to stand up and actually fight the cause right where it happens. If all these groups who claim to be shark activists would actually live up to the way they see themselves, we probably would not be where we are right now.
