One of the more poignant and under appreciated moments in Jaws is when the privileged politician finally decides to do the right thing because he was suddenly personally affected. #Jaws50

Taking my kids swimming with feeding whale sharks last week was definitely a top Proud Dad moment. The conditions off Isla Mujeres, Mexico were excellent. Sticking our heads in the sand for a few days was also therapeutic.

This week I was excited to introduce my kids to whale sharks! We visited an aggregation site off Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where we got up close and personal while following responsible guidelines. Hoping this gets them hooked on more shark adventures in the future! #WhaleShark 🦈

I was surprised to spot this dusky shark on the wall at the famous Beantown Pub along Boston’s Freedom Trail (the only bar where you can drink a Sam Adams within sight of Sam Adams’ grave)! #SharksNearMe 🦈 🐟

The first ever white shark tag recapture in the Atlantic, as reported in The Fisherman magazine c. 1984. The NMFS Cooperative Shark Tagging Program has been running for over 50 years! @shellspc.bsky.social
