Abstract

Seventy five-year-old M Zakharias’ otherwise dull eyes glisten with pride as he narrates how he and his friends used to catch sharks five decades ago. They would venture into the sea in catamaran, a raft made of logs tied toge ther, taking a long thick cotton line and a few hooks as their hunting tools. “Sharks were abundant in our waters then,” he recalls. “We didn’t have to go far from the shore to catch them.”
