NatGeo on Shark Overfishing

BY: tmarshall

Check out Oceana’s own Rebecca Greenberg and Pew’s Joshua Reichert in a National Geographic video about a cause in the spotlight this week — the overfishing of sharks. The images of sharks in a Spanish fish market are very different from your typical Shark Week viewing.Stick around after the first video for footage from Cocos Island National Park in Costa Rica. Ben Horton, a photographer working with National Geographic, documents the illegal shark trade and attempts to run down poachers.
