This week CBS news (not known for pro-shark coverage) was in the Bahamas with the First Lady of Shark Diving,
Cristina Zenato, to discuss sharks, dermal denticles and researchers'
use of simulated sharks skin for new anti-bacterial efforts in the lab
and beyond.
It's nice to see pro-shark media coming from the Bahamas especially when a critical push to make the Bahamas a full fledged Shark Sanctuary is in the works by many of the regional stakeholders including for the first time shark diving operations.
