As a black woman who is aiming to major in Marine Biology in university, I couldn't care less of the gender nor the color of the person providing me with the information. I've known I wanted to do this since I was 14 and never once did my gender or skin color discourage me from doing something that I knew I wanted to do and loved to learn about. It NEVER even came to mind, and it still doesn't. I watch a lot of films and shows related to nature and ecology. I'm focused more on learning and admiring the beauty of our world and the species that occupy it, not the skin color or gender of the scientists, researchers or narrators. That has nothing to do with the science of our world. I promise it is not that deep!

If a field typically excluded women, then the presence of the first, pioneering woman to look up to would be proof that a person doesn't need permission. When I went to university, the class was 90% men. The handful of women banded together (formed a clique), and after a couple dropped out, the rest followed. I changed campus to a much smaller class. It was one woman in about 20-30 dudes. She was clearly fantastically intelligent and her natural peers were 1-2 top male students. If you'd added another female student of average capacity, she would have been better served to identify with the top male students on ability and work ethic. The identification thing seems a liability as much as a boon. If the top mind in a given field was a literal parrot, then you'd be served to try and learn from it and feed on each other's ideas.

You missed the recent video circulating of a woman about to go diving, but wisely puts her face in the water before leaving the boat. She’s backed right back up the ladder by a shark that comes out of the deep.

Shark Week is problematic. It's very much about entertainment and the "shark is dangerous". Like last year they had a guy put himself in a transparent tub that subsequently got attacked by a great white shark, broke the tub, and the guy barely made it back to the safety of the boat. Pretty disgusting. Meanwhile, someone like Ocean Ramsey, a woman, free dives with sharks and swam with Big Blue, the largest known great white shark in the world with no issues. There's also a couple accounts on IG that fly drones over juvenile white sharks swimming peacefully with surfers in Southern California. While the Discovery Channel claims they are trying to show sharks in a non dangerous light, they really don't. Not good for ratings. Even with someone like Ocean Ramsey, they would have a narrator talking about how close to death she is if the shark choose to attack her. "She'd be gone in seconds if Big Blue wanted..."

How many of those people named Mike had the last name Oxlong, Hunt or Litoris though? That's what I want to know.

I had a problem with them giving a boat to a little white kid (probably in his 20s) and everything unusual caught by the fisherman was brought to his attention and the kid was credited for discovering several new species by pointing at it and saying NEW! Mike is the name of a white person that you don't really know their name or it's Dan. I was almost named Michael but there was already a cousin in the family that was already named that. And not white. Also, someone typed #porductivityhacks above the title.

Look up "great white shark spyhopping" it's actually kinda adorable Also disagree. A shark uses its bite for investigative purposes too. It's weird to think about, I know, but when a shark bites something it's not necessarily to eat it. It's to get an idea of what it is. These animals have been around a while, they almost always know food when they see it.

Love your show. I’ve recently turn more conservative than I was for a while and you are a big part of it.

The shark conservation thing is true. Since the late 1970s after jaws came out the hatred for sharks skyrocketed. People seeing them as killing machines of the ocean & wanting them all gone has led to an over 90% global decline in all shark populations by trophy hunters and people making shark fin soup. Shark week really does nothing to make sharks look less scary to the population with showcasing “the deadliest creatures in the ocean” even though you’re more likely to be killed by a jellyfish than by a shark. Up until the 20th century people didn’t even think sharks were capable of attacking humans and now they’re on the verge of mass extinction because of the entire jaws and shark week era.

Shark week promotes love for sharks and conservation of them. Some of it focuses on strange behaviour as in mass attacks which they indicate as unusual.. it's interesting usually.. but they don't have enough material for an entire week

** Nobody tell her that Shark Tank isn't actually a show about sharks. She can believe that one forever and we can all laugh silently to ourselves 😅😂

I remember when they renamed the Jewfish as the Goliath Grouper. I never understood why but it was the first shot fired in the PC wars. Now, whale sharks have to be renamed because it's body shaming. And blacktip sharks have to be shown as much as whitetip sharks for equity. Bull sharks are bull sharks whether they are male or female. Must be the patriarchy. 🤷

"Researchers say " should include a footnote listing who those Researchers are.

People who focus this much on things that literally no one cares about pisses me off. There are children and babies in our world and even in our own country going to bed starving with hunger pains and people still focus on nonexistent racism and animal conservation. Stop it.
