Shark Country

Teddy Tucker, best known as a salvage diver and shipwreck hunter was first and foremost a fisherman. On a fishing trip in 1994 he was asked for his thoughts on changes he had witnessed over his time fishing off Bermuda. One of the starkest examples of change on the reef is the disappearance of the once ubiquitous sharks.
Other fishermen and hunters share their observations of further change they have experienced over the past 30 years. Together with Teddy they stand as witnesses to the decline in Bermuda's marine environment gleaned over years of consistent free diving and scuba diving on the island's reef.

Philippe's comment struck home. We should now be asking "What should we want it to look like".

Great video. Very sad state of affairs. One wonders though if it's just fishing that responsible for the denudation of fish? It seems strange that it's almost worse today some 30 years after the pot ban than it was 10 years after it. Is it a coincidence that fish numbers and seagrass around Bermuda have disappeared in tandem?

Great video. The solutions will require full and proper licensing and effective enforcement of the plans for strengthening local fish stocks.
