There’s a really interesting article published in The Guardian about shark fishing. It goes into great detail about some of the support and opposition of the catch and kill shark tournaments and well worth the read.

Here’s a list of multinational corporate sponsors of these tournaments:

  • Coca-Cola
  • Globalstar

The quest to haul in giant sharks used to be a free-for-all, with those who took part in the 1970s recalling thousands of rotting carcasses laid out on the parking lots of places like Montauk.
This year there are 71 registered tournaments along the Atlantic coast in which large pelagic sharks can be caught – 28 target sharks exclusively.
