Bali reef aquarium founder, Yoki Sinugroho was interviewed in news media around Bali for having released 7 black fin sharks in Gilimanuk last year, 14 February 2017.

'From the beginning, we have reminded fishermen not to kill the rare fish that exist. We recommend for the sharks to be maintained and then released, ' he said.

Yoki claim that he saw seven sharks were obtained by the fishermen to be sold off to the fish market. As a man with nature conscience, he decided to buy those sharks with higher price for him to conserve and release later on. 

The sharks were 30 cm to 40 cm long when they were first caught. The size has now reached 80 cm and are strong enough to be released back into the ocean. It is hoped that the fishermen will not take and kill the increasingly rare fish and preserve it for the future.

Populasi Ikan Hiu kini semakin tahun semakin berkurang, banyak hiu yang masih kecil tertangkap atau ditangkap oleh para nelayan. Untuk menjaga ekosistem bawah laut, Bali Reef Aquarium bekerja sama dengan Dinas Terkait dan Warga Lokal melepaskan Hiu Blacktip yang dibeli dari Nelayan untuk dilepaskan ke habitat asalnya.
