• Sharks are among the most persecuted animals on Earth.
• Nicole's blockbuster story lifts the lid on the shocking details of the trade in shark fins, and raises awareness of the plight of sharks in the 21st century.
• In November 2003 a female Great White Shark was tagged near Dyer Island in South Africa.
• Her tag popped up in February 2004, just south of Western Australia.
• The shark, later to be named Nicole (after shark enthusiast Nicole Kidman), had swum an epic 11,000 km.
• Scientists were even more surprised when she was identified back in South Africa in August 2004she had covered 22,000 km in less than nine months, using pinpoint navigation both ways.
