Madison Stewart is a shark protection advocate who has gone to Indonesia repeatedly to study and engage with shark fisherman there. She reports that they do it to provide for their families and community. That's a powerful motivator, and shark finning is lucrative to poor communities.

Folks interested in learning more can look up Project Hiu. I follow her @sharkgirlmadison on Instagram, where she posts pretty regularly.

The problem isn't the fisherman, the problem is the people buying the shark fins.
