"We've been seeing this nurse shark for over a year and it's healed up nicely, but it has still been left disfigured. The injury to its mouth is most likely from a fishing hook that appears to have been cut out, removing a large chunk of the animal's face. We can all do better for the ocean and sharks, by making more sustainable choices. Use less plastic, get a reusable water bottle and grocery bags, join or start your own beach cleanup and select more eco friendly items when shopping. Simple actions each day can make a difference. Every week is Shark Week in my world, and through education and awareness, we are replacing fear with facts. Sharks are remarkable creatures and are important for healthy oceans. They deserve our respect and support, every week of the year."
