So I'm relatively guilt free in wanting to cage dive?

Absolutely go! Do it. You can go in Guadelupe and San Diego. I know there have been some issues in South Africa where some operators have put out cages within a mile of where people swim so that yes, whenever they hear a boat engine they come around and investigate. But I think that as long as it's done properly then it can be safe. So you can go ahead and enjoy these animals guilt free.

My final question to you is this: is there hope? If they are slow to reproduce and we're taking them at such an alarming rate, is there hope? Can we save sharks?

Yes I think there's hope. The situation is even more dire than we made it out to be in the movie. The fact is that at this rate every single fisheries in the ocean will collapse by 2048. There is tremendous waste that goes on out there! But I think we can do it. The main thing is awareness. We can accomplish great things when we want to. I mean, we've come so far on things like gender equality and human rights and look at what we did to save the whales! If the public gets behind this NOW, then we can change things for the better!

So what can I do? Beside write an article that a few 100 or a 1000 people may read.

(laughs) Write an article that a 100,000 people will read!

Thanks so much for talking to me today!
