Conservation, Science

Continuing the discussion about shark feeding dives started last week by Aleks Maljkovic, Eric Clua discusses the economics of this practice and concludes that a living shark can be worth much more than a dead shark.

If you have any questions for me or the subject of this week’s interview, please leave them as comments below and one of us will get back to you.
