Why is shark protection or marine conservation important to you?
Millions of sharks are slaughtered every year, often only the fins are removed - alive - and the still-living shark is disposed of in the sea. This is not only cruel, but also destroys the marine ecosystem.
Do you have any special skills, experiences or adventures?
- I have been diving since 1992 and enjoy every second underwater, for some years I have also been involved in underwater photography.
- Without a particular professional background (not a marine biologist), I still believe that everyone can do their bit to protect sharks.
