The Truth About Sharks
An average of 65 people worldwide are injured by the ocean’s top predator each year—with only two or three deaths—but up to 73 million sharks are killed annually by people. Most of them die when fishermen slice off their fins to sell, primarily to Asian markets as a soup ingredient.

About Me
Sharks have inhabited our planet for 450 million years, since before the time of dinosaurs. If, in some small way, we are able to help people understand the vital role sharks play in ecosystems and the impact this has on all species, including humans, and also to dispel the myth that sharks are ruthless man-eaters, then we will have done a good thing.
Favorite Quote
Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.
