On 22nd June at the Hong Kong book fair, co-authors Paul Hilton and Alex Hofford launched their book 'Man & Shark.'

"From the beaches of Africa to the ports of the Middle East, a shark fin odyssey arrives back at ground zero: Hong Kong. 'Man & Shark' is book and short film of the same title, which explores the barbaric practice of shark-finning in developing nations, so that consumers in Hong Kong and China can eat shark fin soup at their weddings, company banquets and celebrations. The book and short film aims to show why sharks, as the ocean's apex predators, are necessary to keep the marine ecosystem in balance. 'Man & Shark' also bears witness to the ignorance of shopkeepers selling shark fin in Hong Kong. And it explores why Chinese people eat shark fin soup in the first place, and the dangers to human health from mercury poisoning.'Man & Shark' was conceived in Mozambique, Yemen, and Hong Kong, and includes many underwater images from all over the world."
