Getting a little reading in before bed. I have been super tired the past few days. I got a sunburn at the beach which hurts, but the biggest thing is that I have actually gotten up early yesterday and today to get a morning jog in. I was never a runner before, but I think I kinda love it. My mind is empty when I run and that is a wonderful feeling.

so-so

This book follows the author on a route to learn about sharks and how the ocean around them - and why they‘re so important. The first half was my favorite as it discussed what I wanted to hear; their biology and behavior. The second half started to fizzle our for me with all the Drabble about the Asian market (yes I know its important) but it was such an abrupt change. The disconnect of where the book struck me as odd. Good book overall,either way

All told according to Boris Worm, professor of marine conservation and biology at Dalhousie University, the number of sharks killed per year is 100 million, though it‘s possible the number could be as high as 273 million.

Darwin said; ā€the love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.ā€¯ Humankind needs to widen its circle of love to encompass sharks now more then ever. [...] As Darwin also observed; ā€great is the power of misrepresentation.ā€¯

I did not realize that there was such a market (worth 30$ million in the US) for the sharks cartilage. To prevent cancer. Which leads to the myth that sharks don‘t get cancer. I remember when I was younger being so surprised and happy that sharks didn‘t get cancer. Which sharks do get cancer btw. I‘m horrified of this new information. Both harm sharks and people; with no science to back up either claim.š¦š’• one of the few things that makes me sick

Sharks have been my favorite animal for as long as I can remember! Though this is the first time I‘ve seen them called a guardian of the ocean. All books show is their ruthless predatory attacks as gory and nothing less then fear. For me I see a beautiful creature doing what nature intended in unparalleled grace. Also, who doesn‘t know Mary Lee at this point? She has become the most famous shark after Jaws herself!

McKeever explores sharks by focusing on different species in each chapter and gathering information from commercial fishing, scuba diving, and science. I have read a lot about sharks, so there wasn‘t much here that was new for me, but this is an accessible read that reveals how imperiled and misunderstood these amazing creatures are.

WanderingBookaneer I loved this one too! 5y

This eye-opening book explains how fishing is threatening this keystone species. It also offers a harrowing look at some commercial fishing practices. A must read. āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸
