Overfishing around the world has decimated shark populations dramatically over the last 50 years. The progressive loss of a super predator such as the shark in all seas poses a chilling threat because they are responsible for keeping marine ecosystems in order.
Our coasts are under great threat, among other reasons, due to the lack of protection for sharks and we want to go out in search of a sea where it is still possible to find healthy populations of sharks and see how this influences the general state of the environment in which they reign.
We travel to Sudan, to meet the elusive hammerhead shark; one of the most endangered sharks in the world due to overfishing. To travel to Sudan is to travel several decades into the past.
