This program reveals the unsustainable exploitation of our oceans by the fishing industry. Aboard a long-liner, the crew of the Sedna IV films the daily lives of these fishers, who catch sharks and other large ocean predators. Today, this industry depends on the lucrative Asian shark fin market, which is threatening shark populations worldwide. Sharks and turtles are among the oldest inhabitants of our oceans. They have overcome countless obstacles over the millennia, but now they are struggling to survive human exploitation of the oceans.
