Episode Synopsis


Godfrey Jordan Abage was a grown man when he discovered the West New Ireland custom of shark calling in Kono village, Papua New Guinea. Shark calling has been practiced for thousands of years and Godfrey is one of the locals fighting to ensure that it will continue for generations to come. Right now, the shark population around Kono seems to be growing, but Godfrey and his fellow villagers are worried seabed mining will change that.
