research trips to Lombok since September 2012 in order to find out about the shark fishing and shark fin trading going
on in Tanjung Luar, which has devastating impacts on ocean sustainability. Deciding that having tourists come on boat
trips making use of the shark fishermen's shark boats could be a viable alternative livelihood with equitable income for
the fishermen as well, she is getting tourists to choose responsible tourism and make a difference with their tourist
dollar by coming on the boat trips and talking to the fishermen about why they want to still sharks in the oceans, soft
than hard conservation approach for the fishermen.With a sustainable tourist base establish, Kathy also hopes to
work with the fishermen on ocean conservation and start a trend of ocean conservation for the coming generations of
