Image by @Jim_abernethy // I'm super stoked to be back in Hammerhead season again! The Great hammerhead is the largest of all hammerheads growing to the same length as the Great White Shark 7 meters in length! As you can see from this image they are not afraid to get close, which makes for great photography subjects! If you love sharks this species is a must experience as no other shark species is like them in anyway!

On this World Oceans Day, you and your best friend can begin an effort to minimize one-use plastics, apply reef-safe sunscreen, and voice your opposition of overfishing and shark finning!

A huge step forward for sharks. 🦈 | Repost @mission_blue | Progress! The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation voted to pass the Shark Fin Trade Elimination Act (S. 793). It's not a law yet, but it's a big step in the right direction. Let's keep moving forward! http://buff.ly/2qFNsRs @Oceana #FinBanNow Photo credit to @Wyland! #marineconservation #nobluenogreen #oceanoptimism #thinkblue #shark #wylandfoundation #sharksarejawsome #shark #sharks #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeconservation #conservation #nature #ocean #saynotosharkfinsoup #oceanconservation #sea #endextinction #KeyConservation

Video by @Jim_Abernethy // The affectionate side of sharks is something that the world doesn't believe possible, yet I teach my guests how to do this on every single trip and have success daily! Here you see me rubbing the lemon shark affectionately, the same that anyone would do with their dog! Although many of the lemon sharks have never had this before, they are definitely sentient creatures like dogs and come back to their new human friends repeatedly to get more shark love...affection! I use this new trusting relationship to get close enough to remove their hooks, which I started in 2002 and have removed 100's of hooks so far. I wish the 99% of the human population on planet Earth could actually see this, to dispel the most misunderstood creature on the planet...sharks, so please tag your friends and share this! As Jacques Cousteau said "We only protect what we love! " I love sharks! Do you love sharks? They are quite simply not mindless man eating monsters that they are so often projected as! As a hardcore shark conservationist this misconception is the hardest obstacle to overcome! Join me aboard our shark expedition vessel Shear Water to experience this life changing encounter yourselves! DM me your email address to get more information about my shark expeditions!

Image by @jim_abernethy // Is this a happy Great White Shark? Look at that smile! Great White Shark trip info at bottom of the post! Hope to see you with GWS's soon! “While most of the world is consumed by the fear of being eaten by a shark, the truth is that sharks don't really eat people...the truth is, it is MAN eating sharks needlessly into extinction! The truth is in the statistics! Humans go in the water 8 billion times a year and from that 85 people are mistakenly bitten by a shark and less that 5 on average die from these mistakes...that are most commonly referred to as shark attacks. If even 1 of over 500 species of sharks preyed on man, we would not be able to swim in the ocean at all! Here is a comparison of some of the more dangerous animals in the US, of course saving the best for last! Dogs bite someone every 40 seconds resulting in 4 to 5 million bites and 16 to 20 deaths yearly. Cows kill 20 people yearly. Deer kill an average of 135 people yearly. 1600 people are attacked and bitten every single year in the state of New York by People! Humans are responsible for killing between 73 million to 250 million sharks every year mostly for just their fins! Let's end this needless slaughter and save our friends in the sea! Interested in seeing Great White Sharks up close at the very best location worldwide, Guadelupe Mexico? Join me September 15 -20th, 2021, for an incredible Great White Shark trip! You do not have to be scuba certified for this experience! DM me if your interested in more details and I'll send them thru email! Hope to see you there!

Image by @jim_abernethy // Tiger Sharks are definitely my favorite shark and have been my entire life!
