The Blue Savannah.

Lukas Müller is a young, renowned and well-known shark researcher. He has already taken part in numerous expeditions and established a global network.

He now runs his own project off the west coast of Africa: The Blue Savannah. The area is known as one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the Indian Ocean. Rare shark and ray species as well as marine mammals such as dugongs, whales and dolphins find refuge in this habitat.

The national park is the last hope for sharks and rays in particular, which are overfished and hunted outside the national park.
