Poaching of marine life is the most underreported wildlife crime. Happening offshore, it occurs away from the eyes of conservation officials. Rumors about illegal hunting of dolphins for shark bait had been circulating in Peru but no one had evidence. Conservationists Stefan Austermüle (Mundo Azul) and Hardy Jones (Blue Voice), set out to document these crimes. To get evidence Stefan was placed undercover disguised as a reporter pursuing a story about fishing. Heading over 100 miles offshore for 30 days, what happened at sea would impact Stefan for the rest of his life.
