Synopsis:

This video looks into Madagascar’s shark fishery, which has declined dramatically in recent years. The decline in this fishery and fish stocks in general are having major a impact on the lives of local fishing communities as well as the marine ecosystem. The film looks at the reasons for this decline and what can be done to prevent the collapse of shark populations in the region. The film is in the local Vezo dialect with English subtitles. There are also Sakalava dialect and French versions of the film.
