Pod Squad: Save Our Sharks

Inga Gibson, policy director for Pono Advocacy LLC (which has nonprofit clients) joins Pod Squad host Chad Blair to push for passage of House Bill 808, the Shark-Ray Protection Act, that would cover the fish in Hawaii waters. Gibson says sharks are sometimes killed just for their teeth.
