MY OPINION Safeguard the future of sharks through positive change Twenty years ago, I had my first face-to-face encounter with a shark. Not one but three reef sharks that decided to check me out while snorkeling. They circled me several times before losing interest and swimming away. In those few slow seconds in the water’s off the North West Cape in Western Australia my life shifted slightly. There started a fascination that turned to concern and led to a career in shark conservation. Although one charismatic species eats up most of the headlines, sharks - with their cousins the skates and rays - make up a surprisingly diverse group of animals. From deep sea to coastal waters, from the size of a chocolate bar to the size of a truck, from streamlined speed machines to sluggish sloths, one plucky little shark has even learnt to walk. The IUCN Red List has described and assessed 1053 species and new ones are discovered each month. I’ve spent years talking to people about the seas and, more than anything else, about sharks – hearing their stories, dealing with differing attitudes, handling misconceptions. This experience leaves me with a definite sense of divided opinions. Sharks, it seems, are the Marmite of the natural world, loved by some, loathed and feared by others. But love them or hate them they are vital ingredients in the ocean soup. Our future is inextricably linked with theirs. And, the future of many of them is by no means certain. We are slowly but surely pushing some species to the brink, approximately a quarter of all species are currently threatened with extinction. Something has to change. For a shark lover I’m not sure if I have the best or the worst job in the world. What’s so great? Being involved and genuinely making a difference. We get to dedicate our working lives to sharks, skates and The world of shark conservation is a complex place. Paul Cox looks at how this interplays with environmental, economic and cultural factors rays, to sharing knowledge and to making our best efforts to safeguard their future. Our small team occupying an office unit in Plymouth is having a bearing on what will be in the sea in 50 years’ time. That’s both humbling and uplifting, it gets you up for work in the morning and it keeps you going when things get tough. But every day we deal with ‘man’s inhumanity to sharks’, the short-sightedness of overfishing and the illogical and wasteful practice of finning. We’re striving for positive change. Working hard to transform fisheries and influence supply chains so that sharks might have a sustainable future. But the effort required to push through change does make you wonder how we’re ever going to live in harmony with the natural world. It’s also a tough job because drumming up support for sharks is a constant challenge. There are so many good causes to gain your support, to take your money and, more importantly perhaps, your compassion and care. With all those good causes, with so much happening in the world, who can find space for sharks? The irony is that despite the significant challenges posed to shark populations, despite the fact that we could easily start to see major extinctions in our lifetime, the solutions are well within our grasp. We can save sharks but the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. There are many organisations out there working for sharks. I believe that by working together, being targeted, fighting for science-based catch limits, pushing for responsible trade, we can ensure that sharks have a long-term plan. We all have a part to play, everyone can do something for sharks. To get involved visit www.sharktrust.org ONBOARD | WINTER 2019 | 15
