The movie "JAWS" directed by Steven Spielberg with soundtrack by John Williams was released 50 years ago. In this episode of HPR's Classical Conservation Conversation, Dr. Shawn Lum talks about the effects of the movie on the shark population, "There was an increase in shark hunting and tournaments in the wake of the movie's release...." Dr. Lum reminds us that sharks are important to the people of the Pacific, and we can help be their voice.
We pair today's talk with some of the music that inspired John Williams' soundtrack- Debussy's "La Mer: II. Play of the Waves"
