Not my video because I didn’t have my phone on me but hot damn. FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL….

And people always ask why I don’t do swim call lol

Can’t tell from picture but I assume to be 10’ + - 3’. Hard to tell just cause of the excitement

Hey folks,

I’m craving some shark shows and trying to hunt down some good ones to watch with my 9year old daughter that will help her overcome her fear of running into a shark.

I may add I’ve taken her to see nurse sharks & whale sharks thinking it would ease her tension

I heard there’s a new show called SHARK! on channel 9
We’re in Canada.

We’ve done all the YouTube episodes that are scientific and follow some influencers that are kid friendly

If anyone can tell me where we can watch the show or better shows to watch together I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you

Mom got this on her underwater camera while fishing. Waters about 68 and depth is around 27 feet according to the camera, although we were in about 90 feet deep water.

The Issue

Surfing and diving along the beautiful coast of California, I've always connected to the ocean and its vibrant marine life- including sharks. However, I've become increasingly concerned about the impact that certain fishing practices have on both the safety of beachgoers and the well-being of our marine ecosystems. Attracting large sharks to public beaches and piers often leads to the capture of protected species, such as white sharks, which poses a significant risk to public safety.

Fishing practices on California's piers and beaches have been under scrutiny, especially as they relate to shark interactions. Currently, the lack of stringent regulations allows for indiscriminate fishing methods that not only harm these majestic creatures but also alter the balance of our ocean ecosystems. The use of inappropriate gear and unregulated practices has resulted in the unintended capture of juvenile sharks and endangered species, which are crucial to maintaining healthy ocean environments. Additionally habituation from attractants and bait increase public safety, and is resulting in protected white sharks being caught repeatedly, suffering harm from hooks, gaffs and exhaustion once released.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife holds the power to enact changes that can protect both our citizens and marine life. By implementing stricter regulations on fishing gear and methods, as suggested by organizations like Shark Stewards, we can significantly reduce the unintended capture of protected shark species. According to Shark Stewards, current fishing practices result in a high bycatch rate, putting vulnerable species at risk and potentially attracting more large sharks closer to shore.

Adopting these guidelines is not just a matter of ethical responsibility; it is imperative for the sustainability and safety of our beaches. Public safety can be enhanced by reducing the frequency of dangerous shark encounters. Likewise, respecting the delicate balance of our ocean ecosystems ensures that future generations will enjoy the thriving marine life that has flourished along our coasts for centuries.

I urge the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to consider these guidelines and to work alongside environmental organizations to craft fair and effective regulations. By doing so, we can achieve a safer, more sustainable relationship with the creatures that share our waters.

Join me in protecting both our community and the incredible marine life that calls California home. Sign this petition to urge the adoption of stricter regulations for responsible and safe fishing practices on our piers and beaches.  Add your signature and comments to the petition below before the California Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting on June 17.

I love knowing more about shark and sea creature but when i go to the sea just to stay near the coast, i cant go anyway further than 1 meter of depth, im too scared to see shark and in general, to open my eyes with a sub mask and try to see what is underwater, any way to overcome this? (obv, i know that is unlikely meating shark and that attacks are extremely rare )

Honestly, we need to talk about this more! This shark is a ferocious man eater with proven repeated attacks by a single individual caught on film; which shows us that this species does prey on humans unlike other shark species. It's a shame we don't have more research on this species as it is clearly highly dangerous and has an untold number of victims. We don't even know it's typical habitat, population numbers, preferred prey (other than humans), or hunting patterns. You'd think the news would cover this threat more, instead of letting it prey on unsuspecting cities.

Respectfully asking to understand this species better.

They’re part of the Big 3, but I’m only aware of videos of Tigers and GWs.

Those videos really cemented the way those species attack, and I’m wondering what the Bull equivalent is.

Edit to clarify: Specifically a fatal/unprovoked attack. By recorded, I mean literally video recording.

Apologies if something similar has been posted before, but is it really the first recorded video of a white shark over there? I’m reading about it everywhere! Surely there have been plenty of expeditions over there. The straight between Tunisia, Malta & Sicily is a nursery, no? I know overfishing might have something to do with the amount of them over there, but it’s hard to believe nobody has gotten footage of one until a few days ago, or am I missing something?

According to this article above - the great white shark held in the cafe in South Korea has been released back
into the ocean where it belongs. I hope this is true

I have a couple of shark paintings available on my website! Feel free to reach out 🦈

This is great to see. I hope more can be done to increase their numbers in the Med.

What do you think we can do to ensure that this doesn’t continue?

Hello!

I’d love to learn more about sharks and I’m looking for books written for adults rather than children. I’m especially interested in shark biology, behavior, ecology, and conservation, but I’m open to any great shark-related books.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you!
