Madagascar's Increasing Hunt for Sharks: The Influence of Climate Change on Peoples (Ashley)

This article describes how in recent years, the fishing industry in Madagascar has been collapsing. Natural disasters has led to people being displaced from their homes across the globe, and in Madagascar, many fishermen have been traveling to the remote Western portion o the country (in inhumane conditions) to try and attempt to catch sharks.
