Air Jaws Photographer Reflects on Shark Decline and Conservation
Wildlife photographer Chris Fallows, famed for dramatic great white shark breaches off False Bay and his iconic Air Jaws image, discusses his career and the sharks’ decline there on 60 Minutes Overtime. He explains how the once abundant population fell about a decade ago, catalyzing his conservation work with his wife, including habitat restoration in South Africa and Namibia, and notes signs of recovery in other marine life like humpback whales while urging personal responsibility to protect fragile ecosystems.
