Hello Ocean Advocates!
I hope this email finds you well! I'm excited to share our latest episode of the Beyond Jaws podcast, in which we dive deep into the fascinating world of sharks with Dr. Chris Lowe from the Cal State University, Long Beach Shark Lab.
In this episode, we catch up with Chris, who has been incredibly busy developing the California Shark Beach Safety Program. With the increasing presence of white sharks along California's coast, this state-funded initiative aims to keep beachgoers and sharks safe. Chris shares insights into the conservation success story of white sharks, the technology being used to monitor their behavior, and how lifeguards are being educated to better understand these magnificent creatures.
We also explore the psychology behind people's perceptions of sharks and how education can change the narrative from fear to understanding. Chris discusses the importance of science communication and how it has helped reduce unnecessary beach closures, ultimately benefiting local economies.
Whether you're a shark enthusiast or just curious about marine life, this episode is packed with valuable information and engaging stories. Plus, you'll hear about the innovative research methods being employed, including drone technology and acoustic telemetry, that are helping us learn more about these incredible animals.
Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation! Tune in to the episode here and join us as we explore the depths of shark research and conservation.
Happy Conservation!
