TV Show Focusing on the Perceived "Demon Fish"
This is an excellent interview with someone who has travelled the world investigating the ways in which humans and sharks interact... I highly recommend taking the time out of your day to give it a listen.

In other news, and looking slightly North to Canada, they are currently considering a civic ban on shark fin soup in the city of Toronto. There was a press conference today in which an idol of mine commented on the importance of such a ban and the role of sharks generally. This can be heard at:

Great Article from the Washington Post...
The great point to take from this article is the way that the process of creating shark fin soup is described, and how it really comes down to status. I encourage everyone to read it, and to think about how we can reduce our impact on the natural world.
