The Pacific coast of Costa Rica is home to many different species of shark, which are ruthlessly hunted for the lucrative business of their fins.

Intensive farming off the coast of Costa Rica - a favourite location of the sharks - is endangering many species. Many sharks are caught accidentally or are hunted for their fins, which fetch premium prices in Asia. To counter this situation, biologists are tracking their migration and setting up protection zones on their path.
