Happy Earth Day everyone! It can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people and this year I have decided to make it about sharks. Obviously. I am obviously somewhat obsessed with sharks, but people are so scared of them, sometimes to the point of wanting to cull them all. But sharks are essential for our planet and I am going to explain why and how you can help them in this episode. To help I am joined by my guest co-host Kate, one of the team from Business, but Better, who is also a sustainable events planner. In this episode we share: - Why removing sharks would be bad for everyone and everything - The ways that sharks help biodiversity and the ecosystem - The scary number of sharks we kill every year - Some fun shark trivia facts - My experience diving with sharks - How we can protect sharks better - How to check if seafood is sustainably sourced - My sharky request to film makers Key Quotes “If sharks vanished from the oceans we'd all f*****g die, end of story.” “I know a few people who think we should get rid of sharks altogether. Not only is that a tragedy it would be a death sentence for our oceans.” You can get involved with the podcast online Find our full podcast plus our sister podcast via the website here: https://www.briannewest.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallpodcasts/ You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.
