Interview with Mark Thorpe, founder of iDive Sharks and, more recently,  the Global Shark Initiative:

I have been increasingly aware of the issues facing shark populations, insofar that their numbers are in free fall, decimated in some cases by in excess of 90% of their population levels in as little as 30 years.

The Global Shark Initiative was a concept I put together after the fiasco at the recent CITIES  convention which saw a perverse display of financial power games by certain Asian countries
