The Last Shark: Protecting the seas to save the world | Dying Earth: E6 | Featured Documentary

Publicado 2024-05-15
A look at the challenges for those fighting to save the vital ecosystems of the oceans off Costa Rica.

Rising ocean temperatures have become a worrying trend over the past few decades and pose a threat to sea life. The waters off Costa Rica are host to some of the most diverse corals in the Pacific, and they attract numerous sharks and rays throughout the year. Marine conservation is a priority for this small Central American country. Those trying to protect the oceans, however, are being challenged by a determined fishing industry that wants to exploit this diversity at the expense of disappearing species.

The film The Last Shark is a captivating look at how local marine conservationists are creating initiatives to understand and protect Costa Rica’s vibrant offshore ecosystems.

  • A great report, thank you for producing it! Sharks are essential to the world's oceans and need all the help they can get. Overfishisng is the no.1 threat to our planet after climate change, and it must be stopped!
  • @KeliK1
    The video showing the poor shark getting its fins cut whereas it's still alive made me very sad. The images of them laying at the bottom of the ocean, without their fins and motionless were even harder to watch. So much suffering and so much waste!😔

    I was never afraid of the 'monster under the bed'. I always knew humans were the monsters.
  • @LucyKelly-of6cu
    Yes, ALL animals are wildlife, and they ALL need habitat! SAVE ANIMALS!

    'Plant plants (land & sea), eat plants= save planet. Simple😊.

    Concept Biodiversity generates biodiversity Well done 👍
  • @KnowledgeThirst770
    How brutal and inhumane it is to leave the sharks without their fins to live on the seabed alone!
  • @muhammadaftab15033
    Al Jazeera! Please, make a documentary about the Peshawar School Massacre in Pakistan in December 2014.
  • 22:09 Yep, there's the crux. As long as decisions are made to get profits to rise in the next quarter, it's awfully difficult to make much headway on longer-term issues (which are most of them).
  • @user-st3mr9ov2b
    People say "someone should do something". Everyone is someone. Most people talk, but do less than nothing. They won't even just 'take it easy' on how much fish & meat they eat.
  • The security in-charge of the Peshawar garrison recently promoted as general 😂.
  • @Laksha_Dweep
    😔 Good work Al Jazeera... Also invite ur attention to the Arabian sea about the smuggling of sea cucumber at Lakshadweep region by Sri Lankan smugglers
