The 7 September episode of Carte Blanche investigates the alarming deaths of protected sharks within marine protected areas, where these creatures, often labelled as man-eaters and viewed with fear and disdain, are falling victim to a system meant to safeguard people.
Instead, that very system is allegedly driving an ecological disaster, threatening the balance of marine life. The unfolding crisis raises a critical question: Is it time to reconsider how we coexist with sharks?
Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
