Shark populations around the planet are severely declined. “I’ve been trying to get the bill re-introduced in Hawaii to ban the purposeful killing of sharks and rays and this just feels like the biggest sign to keep pushing forward for more protection for them. Ramsey posted some of the images on her official Instagram account and called for awareness about the declining number of sharks. The photos with Deep Blue have since gone viral. Ocean Ramsey and her partner Juan Oliphant are shark researchers who have been observing the marine creatures in Hawaii. #Aloha #hawaii #greatWhiteHawaii #SaveTheOcean #ocean #discoversharks #oneoceanconservation #OneOceanDiving PHOTO CREDIT ❤️Ī post shared by Ocean Ramsey #OceanRamsey on at 2:14am PST I reached the point long ago where I dedicated my life to conservation and I love it, I love educating people about sharks and introducing them to them in a professional guided situation through the program I co-founded where we also collect data and help support conservation through and and and other with funds from and diving I love studying shark behavior and body language and its an absolute pleasure to share that with people and help them to better appreciate sharks and I hope inspire them to help save them. Never complacent, always respectful and adapting at every second to every movement. However, I’ve also had the most incredible moments of my life in the water with them where 99.9% of the time they cruise gracefully around and so long as I keep looking around and pay attention constantly and quietly and give respect and attention to the more dominant individuals and challenging juveniles on a CONSTANT bases I am treated as more or less an equal predator. Having worked with sharks for so long I can fully appreciate what they are capable of because I have been rushed by sharks and had to deter them and I have had to leave the water and I have watched them actively predate and compete for space and have confrontations. There’s a challenge I have in my efforts, to find a balance between helping people to overcome their fear of sharks that often stems for fictitious demonizing media and instilling a healthy level of respect for sharks as very capable apex predators #ApexPredatorNotMonster not puppy (cause if you pet puppies often even puppies bite, actually a lot )). I’ve been swimming with sharks my whole life and working professionally with them for over 15 years. #Jaws was a fictitious film whose poster kind of looks like this, so this is my effort at an Anti-Jaws type media piece.
