Unsustainable Seas: The Battle to Save Shark Populations
100 million sharks are killed every year—far more than the handful of humans attacked by them. ETH alumna Fabienne Ziadi is on a mission to change perceptions and protect marine ecosystems.
ETH Zurich alumna and marine biologist Fabienne Ziadi didn’t set out to study fish—but a single course at ETH sparked a fascination that led her from Switzerland to Okinawa. She shares insights on the threats facing shark populations, the surprising world of mudskippers—fish that can walk on land—and how she uses cutting-edge 3D imaging to study marine life. With overfishing and habitat destruction endangering marine ecosystems, Fabienne is raising awareness about the critical role of sharks in maintaining ocean health. Her journey highlights the power of curiosity, hands-on learning at ETH, and a deep commitment to conservation.
