#3 From Sea to Soup: The Shark Fin Trade with Etoile Smulders

Did you know that an estimated 100 million sharks are killed each year? On today’s episode, the show takes on a slightly more sombre tone, as host Mads discusses the realities of the shark fin trade with front-line shark conservationist, Etoile Smulders (@captain_smulders). From sea to soup, we hear the story that inspired Etoile’s journey into shark conservation, from growing up in a China, the shark fin capital of the world, to her newfound subsistence-fishing lifestyle in New Zealand.
