The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper S02E19 - Deep Dive: The Shark Wars

Episode Overview

Boris Sanchez from CNN dives into the escalating clash between an age-old predator and its contemporary rivals for food. Each year, humans kill around 100 million sharks globally, putting one-third of shark species at risk of extinction. While some fishermen claim that the shark population in the U.S. has spiraled out of control and is devastating their catches, many scientists counter that the real issue may stem from overfishing and diminishing prey availability. Sanchez engages with voices from both sides of the debate, addressing their worries to government regulators and even taking the plunge to swim with the sharks himself.
