No.325 Monthly Yaima August 2021 issue

Special feature: "The underwater world as seen through shark culling"

The Yaeyama shark eradication program began in 1979 and has continued for over 40 years. The beautiful Yaeyama sea is filled with all sorts of dangers when you dive underwater.

"The sea in Yaeyama is more beautiful than anywhere else. I saw a shark there."

The author, Kazuyuki Nagaresugi, who is investigating shark elimination, says he has actually encountered sharks and even cooked and eaten one himself.
