She’s so beautiful I’m going to cry. 

I lose my shit with absolute unfettered delight every single time I see this video. It makes me speechless every time, and I watch it at least 3 times in a row, and there’s a 50/50 chance that I’ll cry, because fuck. Look at her. She’s beautiful. And she’s just,,,, SO peaceful. There’s three swimmers in the water around her, swimming along beside her, and she’s not even a little bit phased. The peace and beauty in this video just. Gets me every time.

Hoooooo boy this video sparked a lot of controversy in the marine bio world. Many people argue that sharks should not be engaged with physically unless redirecting them, especially if they are in the area to feed (like, for example, on a dead whale) since they may get scared off and lose a prime opportunity to eat. Ocean Ramsey got a lot of heat for touching Deep Blue, especially for “riding” on her pec fin. However, I have never seen such massive positive public engagement towards a shark, /especially/ a notoriously slandered species like the great white. In Ramsey’s defence, she is also clearly keeping pace with DB when she touches her pec fin, not hanging on by it. Ramsey is a huge shark and ocean advocate, and with this video she began a huge conversation about how we perceive sharks. With shark cullings still happening periodically in places like Australia and finning still a thriving industry, sharks need all the good PR they can get.

this entire blog is simply just a compilation of my soul yearning
