WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT!"
It's July 14th friends. "Shark Appreciation
Day." Better mark it on your calendrer so you'll
remember next year. Scientists say this is a
day to study sharks and realize how important
they are to the earth's eco system! Those same
scientists tell us sharks have been around for
about 420 million years. If that's correct, sharks
were here about 200 million years before the
dinosaurs! Sharks can certainly be scary. There
have been a number of reported shark bites
along the eastern seaboard over the past couple
of weeks. But, generally, sharks have more
reason to fear humans than humans have to
fear sharks! There are an average 70 shark
attacks reported around the world each year.
About 7 prove fatal. In the same one year
span, however, humans kill an estimated
100 million sharks!! Of course that's little
consolation if you're one of the 70 people
attacked! I feel pretty safe in the ocean.
The lifeguards are watching as well as
the Coast Guard! But, if I get one hint
of that scary music from "Jaws," I'm out of
there! Hope you stay safe in the water and
that all your NEWS is good
