  • Brazil's appetite for shark meat puts species under threat.
    DUKAS_172419226_EYE
    Brazil's appetite for shark meat puts species under threat.
    One of the biggest consumers in a global market worth an estimated £2bn, trade in the cheap fish in the south American country is booming. But worried conservationists say most people do not realise they are eating shark.

    Research published in April found that 83% of the shark and ray species sold in Brazil were threatened, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification.

    For years, conservation efforts focused on the fin trade with Asia and the barbaric practice of "finning" - removing a shark's fins and returning the wounded and helpless animal, to the sea. But research from earlier this year suggests restrictions on finning have not reduced shark mortality, with at least 80 million sharks still being killed annually.
    "Meat was kind of left by the wayside," says Prof Aaron MacNeil, of Canada's Dalhousie University, who is researching the global shark meat trade. "It's only now we're realising how big the trade is. Its value has certainly exceeded that of fins."

    ‘No sharks but I’ve seen porpoises’: the rebirth of the River Thames. A trip down London’s famous waterway reveals many signs of life – but is this another false dawn?
    A survey by the Zoological Society of London shows that the Thames is full of life – and home to three species of shark.

  • Experience: I was attacked by two sharks at once. The great white swiped for my head, but missed, because another had got there first

    Experience: I was attacked by two sharks at once. The great white swiped for my head, but missed, because another had got there first
    Shannon Ainslie, who was attacked by 2 sharks whilst surfing and escaped with minor injuries.It was a warm winter’s day in South Africa and I planned to go surfing at Nahoon Reef. I was 15 and had just finished my first day back at school after the winter break. The reef is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks. If you see lots of birds diving into the reef or notice a strong fishy smell in the air, you should not surf there.
    But on that day in July 2000, the waves were perfect, just over head high, and there was no wind. The water was warm for winter, too. The conditions were too good to resist.
    The session started off well, but about an hour and a half in, my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy; there was the faintest whiff of sardines, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed in. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two four-metre great white sharks attacked me.
    It happened so quickly that I had no idea what was going on. One shark hit me with a lot of force, throwing me into the air; in a split second, it grabbed my hand and surfboard in its jaws, dragging me under the water with it. The shock numbed the pain of its bite. Under the water, another shark swiped for my head and my shoulders, but missed, because the other had got me first.

    Experience: I was attacked by two sharks at once. The great white swiped for my head, but missed, because another had got there first
    Shannon Ainslie, who was attacked by 2 sharks whilst surfing and escaped with minor injuries.It was a warm winter’s day in South Africa and I planned to go surfing at Nahoon Reef. I was 15 and had just finished my first day back at school after the winter break. The reef is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks. If you see lots of birds diving into the reef or notice a strong fishy smell in the air, you should not surf there.
    But on that day in July 2000, the waves were perfect, just over head high, and there was no wind. The water was warm for winter, too. The conditions were too good to resist.
    The session started off well, but about an hour and a half in, my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy; there was the faintest whiff of sardines, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed in. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two four-metre great white sharks attacked me.
    It happened so quickly that I had no idea what was going on. One shark hit me with a lot of force, throwing me into the air; in a split second, it grabbed my hand and surfboard in its jaws, dragging me under the water with it. The shock numbed the pain of its bite. Under the water, another shark swiped for my head and my shoulders, but missed, because the other had got me first.
