Sharks under threat in Costa Rica

www.silvertipworld.com - The waters off the coast of Costa Rica are home to many species of shark and Cocos Island is a world-famous destination for shark-diving. However, these sharks and others all over the world are at threat from the demand for shark fin soup. Researchers in Costa Rica have been threatened and attacked for investigating this trade and urgent protection is required for all sharks.

My favorite place to dive. Going this Aug for the 12th time. Great narration but there are compression artifacts in the video. Would love to help as this is a very real issue and I have seen many changes there since 92, my 1st time there.
