Freeport, Grand Bahama - I had the
pleasure of meeting Pierre-Yves Cousteau during his recent trip to The
Bahamas to promote and educate on shark conservation. He came to Grand
Bahama with a senior associate of the PEW Environment Group, and two
members of the Bahamas National Trust (BNT) based in Nassau.

He was visiting
the Bahamas to show his support for the BNT's campaign to strengthen the
protection of sharks in The Bahamas, and he gave a public talk at Trust's Rand Nature Center on January 10th.

We met for breakfast the morning he was to head back to Paris where he
lives and I had the pleasant opportunity to pick his brain...
