ERWAN AND FANFAN, RAYS AND SHARKS

Polynesians' aquatic activities

An episode from the series BLUE OCEAN

Synopsis

In French Polynesia, the maritime area represents more than 4 million square kilometers. This immense expanse of water is home to a large number of aquatic species that live peacefully on the seabed.

In the lagoon of Bora Bora, rays and sharks live side by side and have become the main attraction for tourists, notably thanks to Ewan, nicknamed "shark boy", who, in 1977, created the first observation site for these species.

He also developed an activity that has become mythical: shark feeding.
