Poster of Reunion Island: the mystery of the sharks

Director(s): Pierre Belet • Producer(s): Antipode • Format(s): HD

For 10 years, Reunion Island, known and appreciated for its surf spots, has been the place in the world that has suffered the most shark attacks. 24, including 11 fatal attacks. A real psychosis took hold of the island. Surfing is now prohibited outside of a few rare ultra-supervised areas.
So, for several years the authorities have been trying to find solutions to satisfy environmentalists and swimmers. The shark safety center tests many types of devices to repel them, observe them and study their behavior. This is the work of Eric Hoarau, a free-diver who installs bait and cameras underwater to try to get to know this predator better.
