Sport Diving Issue 136 Article: Apex Predators in Peril


The new issue of Sport Diving Magazine (136), available throughout Australasia contains my article 'Apex Predators in Peril'. No prizes for guessing it's about sharks!

There is good news from Palau that they have created a shark conservation area in their waters to forbid sharks being caught there.
