Season 8 Episode 81: Europe's shark trade

Europe is the largest exporter of shark meat and fins - in an industry worth several billion euros per year. The tons of shark meat found on sale by marine biologist Lukas Müller are mainly from young animals not yet old enough to have reproduced. Activists want an EU-wide ban on the shark fin trade. But for many people in Vigo, fishing is their livelihood. Can a balance be found between economic interests and the protection of our natural world?
