I really don't understand why people risk their lives like this to get abalone? Is it worth risking their lives?
With a value of up to $1 million, they are still manually exploited among dangerous sharks? Surely only in Australia would they dare to do this!
Catching abalone like this will definitely deplete the resource quickly, it is not sustainable.
Why not invest in technology instead of risking sharks and reefs? Is this the way of doing business in the 18th century?
Aren't these fishermen afraid of shark attacks? Is it possible that it is a risk of life and not just a job?
Perhaps only such a great economic value makes people accept such terrible risks.
It seems that these types of videos are just for show and do not clearly state the risks and environmental consequences.
The Australian government should control more strictly, avoiding overfishing leading to ecological imbalance.
I suspect the $1 million mark might be an exaggeration for views, in reality it is impossible to harvest that much.
Big boat, professional team, millions, but does anyone think about the safety of the divers?
