  • The title of the project is not aimed at ridicule, rather highlighting a simple fact that Indonesia is the World leader in shark fin exports to SE Asia.
  • The center of the Universe to any fisherman, his canoe...
  • A shame to see such a majestic animal treated thus...
  • To save these youngsters from becoming the next generation of shark fishermen then education needs to start, now!
  • This is the family of one fisherman. They all sleep in the same 10ft x 10ft rattan hut. Their bathroom and lavatory is the shoreline. With zero education and zero options their hands are forced to fish that which returns the greatest money, sharks and manta rays.
  • An impressively sized Tiger Shark gets taken for processing. Whilst it is not easy to watch the complete animal will be used with just the teeth and guts being discarded.
  • After a night toiling for bait fish the early hours are spent emptying and repairing the nets.
  • Why put oils on the skin when a sock will do?
  • With nothing, and few prospects for the future the families and fishermen have one endearing quality, their capacity to smile and be cheerful with their lives.
  • By removing such juvenile sharks what hope is there for future populations?
  • The sheer volume of daily catch around the islands of Indonesia must be staggering. Here fishermen on the island of Bali land just one of their many such baskets of bait fish.
  • Sunrise on an overcast day. The sheer number of people dependent on the Fish Market at Tanjung Luar suggests that the eduaction to switch from a fishing to a conserving mentality will be a long, and often hard, struggle.
  • We often say "Children are the future" and so it is hoped these children from local fishing families on Lombok will be taught to see sharks in a different way. Without that outreach they will continue to fish as per their families and ancestors.
  • This Great Hammerhead Shark is transported to the processing buildings at the Tanjung Luar Fish Market on the island of Lombok.
  • My first encounter would have been so much more enjoyable if it was on a dive in clear, warm waters.
  • Sad to see so many of these majestic predators fall victim of circumstance.
