"... there is no such thing as dangerous sharks, but dangerous situations. This fact must be made public ... for the sake of the animals and our children ... once mankind can get rid of its fear from sharks, then sharks can be protected ... the overfishing and slaughtering of sharks is one of the biggest ecological time bombs of our time and the consequences will have a devastating effect - not just for nature but mankind as well ... the conscious interaction with sharks is an important tool for their better understanding ..."
