Little Teeth - Saving Sharks on Bali | Synopsis: When a shark gets caught by a fishermen, it usually faces a dire and mostly short future. Indonesia is one of the world’s biggest export markets for shark fins to China and other Asian countries, where they are consumed in a soup that is considered a delicacy. The rising demand for this status symbol dish has decimated many shark species so badly they are on the brink of extinction. When these apex predators disappear, the balance in the ocean is at stake. One surfer on Bali didn’t just want to stand back and watch. He set up a platform and floating pens in the sea and convinced local fishermen, who regularly by-caught juvenile sharks in their nets, to - instead of killing them - sell the sharks to him alive. On „Shark Island“, the sharks recover from the stress and grow stronger before they are released back into a nearby marine park. Tourists can book ecotours and visit the shark rescue center, feed the sharks and even swim with them. Paul and Bali Sharks have rescued hundreds of sharks so far. In this film, The Jetlagged document Bali Sharks’ work and accompany the release of rescued baby black tip reef sharks and bamboo sharks into the protected marine park of Gili Trawangan, giving them a second chance to make a difference for the oceans.
