In this eye-opening episode of Mermaid Musings, ocean activist and mermaid Tara Coyote dives deep with renowned shark conservationist and wildlife advocate Jim Abernethy to expose the truth about one of the ocean’s most misunderstood creatures: sharks.
Jim reveals why sharks are vital to the health of our oceans, how their role as the “lungs of the planet” keeps marine ecosystems in balance, and why the fear-fueled myths popularized by movies like Jaws are dangerously misleading.
Despite their shy nature, sharks are facing extinction - up to 150 million sharks are killed each year, primarily for food and cosmetic purposes, while only an average of 6 human deaths are attributed to sharks annually. Jim challenges the narrative and shares his personal experiences swimming with sharks, advocating for their protection, and empowering others to help save them.
