In Africa, Anita Conti (1899-1997) is a legend. After the Second World War, the “White Lady” was charged with drawing up fishing maps of the African coast. The task was considerable: to save the populations from famine and to correct their terrible protein deficiencies. Anita Conti succeeded beyond all expectations, prospecting thousands of kilometers of coastline, setting up fisheries, discovering the extraordinary richness in vitamin A of sawfish, hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks, the “giants of the warm seas”.
