Shark Week Returns to Discovery Channel on July 5 SHARK WEEK RETURNS TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL ON JULY 5 SHARK WEEK, television’s most anticipated week of shark filled television, kicks off this year on July 5 (through the 12th), earlier than ever before. In addition to SHARK WEEK in July, Discovery will also premiere all-new SHARK WEEK programming during a special weekend in August, turning 2015 into the ‘Summer of the Shark’. A summer long celebration of all things shark, this year’s SHARK WEEK will deliver more hours of all new, visually-stunning and informative shark-filled specials than ever before. Discovery Channel’s SHARK WEEK 2015 will include: · The most hours of programming in SHARK WEEK history; · The first ever SHARK WEEK expedition to Cuba, plus global locations that include New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan and the Arctic, as well as numerous U.S. destinations; · Various sequels to SHARK WEEK favorite specials, including the iconic program Air Jaws, which haspushed and expanded the understanding of Great White sharks, and Great White Serial Killer featuring Jeff Kurr, Andy Casagrande and Brandon McMillan; · Four years in the making, multiple hours of blue chip natural history programming that reveals never before seen moments on camera; · Never before used shark technology to capture all new shark images and shark behaviors; · Programming that features 10 year old shark conservation activist Sean Lesniak (a state bill filed on Lesniak’s behalf was signed into law in 2014 banning the possession and sale of shark fins in MA) who goes on an expedition with his idol, biologist Greg Skomal, and the Shark Cam team. SharkWeek.com will be the hub for all SHARK WEEK action online this year, and will include daily news and updates, a Sharkopedia of facts, Web exclusive video, the ever-popular Shark Cams, photos and additional multiplatform features.

  • Anthrozoology and Sharks, Looking at How Human-Shark Interactions Have Shaped Human Life Over Time
    Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2020 Committee: Marc L. Miller, Chair Vincent F. Gallucci Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Marine and Environmental Affairs © Copywrite 2020 Jessica O’Toole 2 University of Washington Abstract Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs Anthrozoology is a relatively new field of study in the world of academia. This discipline, which includes researchers ranging from social studies to natural sciences, examines human-animal interactions. Understanding what affect these interactions have on a person’s perception of a species could be used to create better conservation strategies and policies. This thesis uses a mixed qualitative methodology to examine the public perception of great white sharks on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While the area has a history of shark interactions, a shark related death in 2018 forced many people to re-evaluate how they view sharks. Not only did people express both positive and negative perceptions of the animals but they also discussed how the attack caused them to change their behavior in and around the ocean. Residents also acknowledged that the sharks were not the only problem living in the ocean. They often blame seals for the shark attacks, while also claiming they are a threat to the fishing industry.

  • SHARKS) with Chris Lowe Ologies Podcast July 24, 2018
    Selachimorphology (SHARKS) with Chris Lowe Ologies Podcast July 24, 2018 Oh… Haaaaay it’s your too-talkative pedicab driver who eerily guessed your astrological sign, Alie Ward, back with another fresh as hell episode of Ologies. This is the quickest turnaround ever in the history of the show ever and, I guess given its oceanic vibe, I like to think of it as some treasure that washed up on the beach, delivered to your senses while it’s still shimmering with sea froth, before it starts to stink. I have been tracking this Ologist for months and he was always off on expeditions in remote corners of the Earth being awesome and we had an appointment to talk SHAAAARKS last Friday, and then I realized, boy howdy! This week is Shark Week, this is perfect timing! I don’t mean Shark Week like anything uterine, it’s actually shark Week on Discovery, and Nat Geo has a shark week. And then… he had to cancel, because of work stuff. Fair enough. But then he said he could record just hours before I got on a plane. So I drove my ass giddily down to Long Beach and I hung out in his lab, and I’m now back home I’m turning around asides, I’m having the amazing Steven Ray Morris edit this in probably a Redbull-induced mania. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier about it. It’s very exciting. But before we get to the episode, some thanks and some please, and some thanks again. First off, thanks to the Patrons for making this whole show happen, pretty much.

  • ASLA Career Discovery and Diversity Landscape Sharkitecture: Jaw-Dropping Aquariums Designed by Landscape Architects
    ASLA Career Discovery and Diversity Landscape Sharkitecture: Jaw-Dropping Aquariums Designed by Landscape Architects (Photo credit: Google, Atlantis) Each year, shark fans sink their teeth into any and everything shark during Shark Week 2019 and Shark Fest 2019. This year, ASLA Career Discovery wants you to share ways landscape architects keep the love of design alive with these jaw- dropping aquariums designed by its members! Landscape Architects Take a Big Bite Out of the Design Profession Most people don’t know that landscape architects lead the design of aquariums that hold sharks and an array of marine life around the world. Here are a few examples of ways landscape architects, including ASLA members, are attacking the design world with one-of-a-kind aquariums and other aquatic gardenscapes. National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland Urban Aquatic Health: Integrating New Technologies and Resiliency into Floating Wetlands, Baltimore; Client: National Aquarium, 2018 ASLA Professional Honor Award, Research The National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland, sits on a typical postindustrial urban waterfront. Its unique position as a global actor and habitat expert makes it well positioned to be an agent of change for urban water quality. With an ultimate goal of transforming its campus into a living lab, the aquarium teamed with designers, engineers, and researchers to investigate new technologies to produce a more sustainable and high-performing floating wetland.

  • An Evening with Chris Palmer the BEST and WORST of WILDLIFE
    An Evening with Chris Palmer THE BEST AND WORST OF WILDLIFE FILMS Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital By Professor Chris Palmer Distinguished Film Producer in Residence Director, Center for Environmental Filmmaking School of Communication, American University [email protected]; (202) 885-3408 www.environmentalfilm.org Tuesday, March 20, 2012 A few days ago I received the following e-mail from the author and journalist Mark Dowie. He wrote: On a recent trip to Ecuador I befriended a renowned wildlife photographer. Over drinks one evening he invited me to join him on a shoot the next day. His prey was a very rare and beautiful tropical snake. We met the next morning and drove with a small crew to the edge of the rainforest. I was braced for a long exploratory trek into the wild in search of the elusive viper. Fortunately we didn't have to go far. His porter had one in a cloth bag. He removed it from the bag and placed it on the branch of a tree three paces into the rainforest. The snake coiled itself comfortably around the branch and posed while lights were assembled, lit, and some perfect shots were captured. On the way back to Quito my friend confessed that most of his shots were somehow posed like this. Mark Dowie added, “I'm sure this is not new or shocking to you. But it did rather spoil all those hours I'd spent watching Wild Kingdom, Nature, Attenborough and others on Sunday morning TV as a child.” As many of you know, I published a book in 2010 called Shooting in the Wild which discussed many examples of unethical wildlife filmmaking like the one Mark Dowie described.
