Directed and produced by Andre Borell, Envoy - Shark Cull explores the history of shark nets and drumlines (baited hooks) in Queensland and NSW.

Envoy provides a lineup of marine conservation experts, shark divers, shark bite survivors, activists and through s...

The Scuba GOAT PodcastAndre Borell - Director Envoy Shark Cull - S02 E07Envoy Shark Cull is a hard-hitting Australian documentary directed by Andre Borell. The film shines a much-needed light on the outdated and antiquated shark control methods deployed in QLD and NSW, that have not changed in methodology since being introduced in 1936. I was shocked and devastated to learn about this brutal culling program (also discussed with Jonathan Clark on S01 E15) that is not backed by science and urgently needs to be replaced with modern and non-lethal alternatives.If the report Queensland Shark Control Program catch statistics for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is to be be...
