Since Jaws scared a nation of moviegoers out of the water three decades ago, great white sharks have attained a mythic status as the most frightening and mysterious monsters to still live among us.
They are the stars of a global multibillion-dollar captivity industry, whose money has fueled a sinister and lucrative trade in which dolphins are captured violently, then shipped and kept in brutal conditions. She visits a community in Hawaii whose adherents believe dolphins are the key to spiritual enlightenment, travels to Ireland, where a dolphin named as “the world’s most loyal animal” has delighted tourists and locals for decades with his friendly antics, and consults with the world’s leading marine researchers, whose sense of wonder inspired by the dolphins they study increases the more they discover.

Voices In The Ocean
From Susan Casey, the New York Times bestselling author of The Wave and The Devil’s Teeth, a breathtaking journey through the extraordinary world of dolphins
Since the dawn of recorded history, humans have felt a kinship with the sleek and beautiful dolphin, an animal whose playfulness, sociability, and intelligence seem like an aquatic mirror of mankind.
They found their proof in February 2000, when a British research vessel was trapped in a vortex of impossibly mammoth waves in the North Sea—including several that topped 100 feet.
As scientists scramble to understand this phenomenon, others view the giant waves as the ultimate challenge. #bluelagoon #iceland 💧
My friend Susan Orlean’s spectacular #thelibrarybook inspired me to create a library at the spectacular @mauikombucha world headquarters, where I have been to known to, um, spend quite a bit of time.
Show me a person who isn’t madly in love with sea turtles and I’ll show you someone who needs to spend more time in the ocean. The Devil’s Teeth is the riveting account of that one fateful shark season. It was dusk and no one else was in the water. She was a magnificent human being, and a voice for the natural world that seemed to channel Nature herself.
Whether pursuing swimming excellence as a Canadian teen, developing magazines for Time Warner, or tracking white sharks for her first book The Devil’s Teeth, Casey has always pursued her passions. The pioneer of extreme surfing is the legendary Laird Hamilton, who, with a group of friends in Hawaii, figured out how to board suicidally large waves of 70 and 80 feet.

My kind of Monday Blues. During Maria’s interview, Mary said “If I have any lasting worth, it will be because I have tried to make people remember what the Earth is meant to look like.” Oh Mary, you did.
Within months, she was sitting with two shark scientists in a small motorboat as the sharks—some as long as twenty feet, as wide as a semitrailer—circled around them. Hot water helps most. Box jellies are increasingly common around here, and their sting is not only excruciatingly painful—it can kill you. Until recently scientists dismissed these stories—waves that high would seem to violate the laws of physics.
