This is a promo from the award winning documentary Sharks in Deep Trouble by filmmaker and shark conservationist Lesley Rochat, which was broadcast on 50/50 in South Africa. Lesley goes out on a limb, single-handedly, to investigate both legal shark longlining and illegal shark finning off the coast of South Africa. Armed with her camera and the passion to make a difference, she boarded a shark longline vessel and captured disturbing, high quality footage of mass shark slaughter. In good journalistic style she uncovers that the threat to shark populations in South Africa lies with the local governments inadequate management and compliance of this resource. Though South Africa is a small contributor to the world slaughter of over 100 million sharks each year, Sharks in Deep Trouble is indicative of the global plight of sharks. General inertia of governments worldwide in taking responsibility for their natural resources is driving many fish species, including many shark species to extinction.
Lesley is asking for support for a petition AfriOceans Conservatoin Alliance, a non profit organisation she founded, is running, which aims for improved protection for a number of shark species.
PETITION FOR PROTECTION OF SOUTH AFRICA'S SHARKS http://www.aoca.org.za/addvoice.php Sharks remain a low conservation priority and many species are being driven to extension due to overfishing. South Africa is no exception: Of the over 200 different species of sharks found in South African waters, only White Sharks, Whale Sharks and Basking Sharks are fully protected. All other species may be legally caught and killed.
Please support the Petition and add your signature, each one counts. To find out more about the petition and to sign go to: http://www.aoca.org.za/addvoice.php

Were unable to harvest sharks in NC, eastern UN, there was once a season, but since "overfishing " of sharks was deemed a threat, this livelihood is now extinct ! We had a market for the meat with a limit of 2,000 lbs of sharks daily. Sharks here are not endangered, extinct or overfished, they are very abundant !! very abundant !
sharks and all animals are ment to get extinc. over 90% of all animals that ever roamed the world have been extinc. Trying to stop this is messing with nature. I may sound cruel but it tis a fact
but that´s a matter of force of nature, not of hunger for money, at least not in that way. I wonder when day has come for humanity to get extinct. guess it will come if we don´t learn from our faults.
You are so fucking ignorant..... all animals, land and marine based were put on earth for a reason. It is us humans that have screwed with the system and messed everything up. Nature has nothing to do with it. Hope you are not teaching your children the same philosophy you seem to endorse.
@sketchplan007 so all animals are from earth and we ''humans'' were put on earth and messed it up ? im sorry but we ''humans'' didnt mess anything up we didnt kill the dinosaurs just as sharks are ment to kill fish were ment to kill animals....
im terrified of sharks but im sure they dont deserve to be killed for doin nothin at all. ppl should stop shark killin and learn to live wit them and act like real ppl should.

Sharks are the Bears of the SEA. They are Aquatic Godless Killing Machines. - 'Nuff said.
