Thank you to Forbes for including Shark Allies in their piece on shark diving destinations! “When it comes to the benefits of diving with sharks, Stefanie Brendl with Shark Allies says, ‘Sharks are worth so much more alive than dead. Just look at the future potential of eco-tourism - it is many-fold that of commercial fishing. Places like Palau, and the Bahamas have greatly benefited from being shark diving meccas. Sharks are a keystone species - they are essentially the white blood cells of the ocean. They take out the weak, the dead and the sick and therefore keep diseases from spreading in fish and mammal populations. They make sure the strongest, fastest survive and that keeps populations vibrant and strong.’”
