9: Do Shark Nets Make Our Beaches Safer With Sea Shepherd's Jonathan Clark

Informações:

Synopsis

Sea Shepherd's Apex Harmony campaign aims to protect sharks to help preserve the balance in the oceans. Jonathan Clark is the coordinator for this campaign and joins me today to tell us all about shark nets, drum lines, nonlethal shark methods, and what the data tells us. The Queensland Government is spending upwards of $4 million dollars every year on the shark control program, which has no scientific evidence that it makes our beaches safer while killing thousands of protected species since the 70s. Listen in to learn exactly what is happening off the coast of Queensland, why we need to defend sharks, and what you can do to help.
