Hello, Ecologgers! I recently introduced a new series of posts on my blog called "Shark Science Monday". Each week, I post a video interview with a leader from the shark science community, and readers can ask them questions in the comments section.
My first two focus on shark ecotourism. The first, with Simon Fraser University student Aleks Maljkovic, shows that feeding sharks does not seriously impact their behavior, despite the claims of many environmental groups. http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=7733 The second, with Dr. Eric Clua, shows that while a dead shark is worth hundreds of dollars to a fish market, a live shark can be worth up to $50,000 for ecotourism! http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=7972 Please share with anyone interested in ecotourism, and please ask these scientists questions! Thanks, everyone! Sincerely, David Shiffman
