Two stories that need to be heard...

They are from different oceans but are definitely related.  One is about the bull sharks of Playa del Carmen and fishermen decimating them at a popular dive site.  

The other story is about the Bahamas having an opportunity to preserve sharks and avoid the destruction of one of the last shark "havens".

Patric and Mike respectively covered each story in detail. Read their updates:
