36: More Sharks Means More Fish In The Ocean With Envoy Cull
Did you know about the longest running marine cull spanning from 1937 to now along the East Coast of Australia? It has been targetted to kill sharks, but not any sharks, 19 target species. Holly Richmond, Marine Biologist, and Adre Borell join forces to create the Envoy Cull film to shed some light on this event. Andre Borell is the Creative Director, while Holly Richmond is one of the faces of shark protection. She has her own documentary The Shark Net Film. In this episode we talk about shark nets, drum lines, why protecting sharks is vital, how fish and shark numbers relate, and what people are doing to protect our oceans. We also touch upon commercial fishing and recreational fishing, the side effects of baiting hooks, and how small caught sharks may actually attract larger sharks.
