Overnight With Michael Mclaren

Phil speaks with shark scientist Dr Leonardo Guida from the Australian Marine Conservation Society about the real threat facing sharks today—extinction. Fifty years after Jaws terrified audiences and vilified sharks, Australia’s weak nature laws now put them at risk of disappearing altogether. Dr Guida explains how “flake” in fish and chips often includes endangered shark species due to poor labelling and legal loopholes. Instead of fearing sharks, he says we should be fearing a future without them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
