Episode Synopsis

Sharks and rays may feel like abundant, everyday seafood in Malaysia, but new research suggests that the demand is much bigger and more complex than we think, especially online. The report From Sea to Screen shows huge volumes of these species being traded on digital platforms, including critically endangered species. We are joined by two of the co-authors - Serene Chng, Programme Manager of TRAFFIC Southeast Asia, and Serena Adam, Senior Marine Conservation Officer at WWF-Malaysia - to help us understand what is happening behind the scenes of this trade, and the issues arising from it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
