For four years, this initiative has educated millions—especially during a predicted “very sharky” summer—about shark behavior, reducing panic by distinguishing real sightings from false alarms. Covering everything from Malibu to the Mexico border, it’s identified hundreds of sharks and logged over 100 encounters this year.

Without it, beachgoers risk being left in the dark—making coastal adventures far more dangerous. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
