Shark Trust
Living with Sharks

Film & Campaign Description

We are starting to see years of shark conservation effort come to fruition and there are tentative signs of recovery in some populations. At the same time, we are experiencing ever-larger numbers of people living by and using the sea. As we move forward, we need to consider how we can manage the positive effects of healthier shark populations with the potential for human-wildlife conflict in a marine sphere.

We travelled to The Bahamas to talk to people about their experiences in living alongside a shark Sanctuary. The water surrounding these islands are home to over 60 species of sharks and rays. It has become a very popular destination for divers who want to experience sharks. Discover what they had to say.
