Really enjoyed listening to this so far. It's a niche subject, which obviously draws people in with interest in shark conservation. However, the hope is to engage more and more people who haven't thought too much about this fundamental conservation need . It's driven by passionate people , which comes through clearly. It outlines the pressurea that our oceans and in particular sharks and rays are open to and what needs to be done to protect these amazing species.
