Luke Tipple is joined by Madison Stewart aka “Shark Girl”, filmmaker, shark conservationist and founder of Project Hiu. Madison returns to the podcast to discuss her work in Indonesia, helping shark fisherman transition into the tourism industry. They’ll discuss why the shark finning trade is so prevalent in Asia, the aims of Project Hiu and why Madison wants to end the misconception that Indonesian shark fishermen are “the bad guys”. Plus, the pair also talk about shark nets in Australia and explain why they need to be stopped.
