Your drone actually came in handy with those folks who were teasing/enticing the shark, they stopped doing that after they saw the drone. Thank you for your wonderful videos
Your videos have actually taken away alot of my fears and misconceptions about white sharks, because you have shown they are mostly docile and extremely cautious in what they approach. Now that I’m surfing almost every weekend, I wonder how many times they’ve been out there with me.
I agree 100 percent about the knowledge we have all learned here. But there is no way I could go out there surfing. I get nervous in the middle of a lake. 😳. Be safe surfer dude 🏄♂️ 👍👉.
@@missfriscowin3606 LOL I used to feel that way too, and I’d be lying if I said that I still didn’t get nervous out there at times, just now I know a lot more about there behaviors and that actually puts my mind at ease. Take care 🤙🏻🌊
@@clayton_1000rr In 02 I was at a skateboard race in Folly Beach NC. We got rained out so we boogie boarded instead. When we came in the and went up the beach the guy at the inlet said there was a good sized White Shark in the area. I didn't know it but it always reminds of something I was told years ago. If you are in the water, you are in the water with sharks.
Exactamundo, I think alotta people realised the BS reputation Sharks , especially GW Sharks have from Jaws is just that, BS. Most of us realised now that to see this magnificent creation in the wild, is one of life's miracle and a privileged.
Because they're dumb and entitled people with no common sense. They're the reasons we have signs up on areas where sea turtles with nests informing them not to touch the eggs. They have no boundaries.
The lads will probably be water sports fans, with hundreds of hours spent actually _in_ the water. And, have therefore learned to respect the ocean. The family, on the other hand, were probably daytrippers, with little connection or respect for those surroundings.
Having grown up and lived in SoCal for 40+ years with many summers and winters spent in the Pacific Ocean, it just makes me believe that shark attacks are super rare. As your video points out, they're literally RIGHT there right next to us. When I was on the swim team, we'd sometimes practice out in the ocean by doing laps out to the buoys. Easily 500 - 1000 meters an afternoon. I can't imagine what a buffet line we must've looked liked :D But not one incident in all those years. This video just reinforces that.
How dumb can you be?! Fishing is fine... that's not the problem. You're probably a trophy hunter who gets his kicks out of shooting & killing endangered animals to make up for 'what' you lack....
It's not ideal behavior but grossly over exaggerated. The shark is not a snowflake, if it feels uncomfortable it has literally the entire ocean to swim to, or even submerge more.
@@tichu7 Those people not only had absolutely no respect for and completely disregarded the drone, they were also using it to irresponsibly track, get way too close to, agitate, and chase a shark for what? So they could take their precious selfish? Fuck those people.
Im finally caught up on your last 3 posts. Your work is so beautiful and important! My gkids watch with me 🤗 Id be so disappointed if I missed one Cannot wait for this premiere! Your work is crucial. And we love you and what you do
Thank you again TheMalibuArtist for taking the time and energy to share with us your findings and bringing a voice for creatures of the ocean to us! For someone like me who isn't near the coast and is unable to visit the ocean, I'm always excited to see what you have to show. It is unfortunate to see some people engaging in the behaviors we have seen here but hopefully through your videos and people spreading the word that we'll see less of these disruptive behaviors in the future.
@@boop4904 Using the drone siting to help you find chase sharks is a relative and imprecise thing. It's like noting where the whale watching boat is and head over to see if you'll see a whale. The boat operator likely saw the drone in the air and headed that direction.. The only one who knows for sure if the drone is hovering over a shark is theMalibuAritist. And we know that the drone isn't always over a shark.. in fact from his videos quite frequently he not over a shark, but off at a distance... and I'm sure being a drone operator myself there is tons of drone footage where the drone is just over water... nothing going on. So the boat operator sees the drone and takes a chance that there might be something to see.. After he begins heading to where he saw the drone.. he's not looking at the sky, but the water. What's in the water is much much more important to safety of his boat and his passengers.. and after all the drone may not even be over a shark. Another thing to keep in mind that when it comes to "rules of the road" or sky so to speak out there.. It would be the drone operators obligation to get out of the way of the boat.. not the other way around.
@@floridacracker_ Quite possibly yes.. My guess is they noted the drone and headed that way.. however, the boat operator doesn't know if the drone is actually over a shark or not.. Only the drone operator knows this.. So the boat operator takes a chance and heads that way.. If you own a boat, as I do, you must agree that you first priority is watching where your boat is and what's in the WATER .. not sky. Furthermore, maybe you aren't aware, but it's the drone operators obligation to avoid the boat, not the boat to avoid the drone. The boat has right of way.
"I'm sure the folks mean no harm to the shark" umm their boat is literally called "slaughter time". Something tells me they don't have much respect for the ocean and its creatures.
Sharks are smarter then most people. If they don,t respect the ocean they will find out whatshappen. I'm so scared of sharks that I don't even swim in the sea. that's respect I have for them and love them.
You have re-inspired me to go into marine biology from these videos. I’ve always been mesmerized by sharks and marine life and listening to you and watching all of these videos has helped me so much. Thank you for what you do.
I lived along the coast in southern California for fourty something years and I don't recall the water being so clear. I could never see what was right next to me while swimming. Probably a good thing after watching your videos.
Right? It is still quite murky often up North in Ventura County and when swells come it. I dive at night and have been brushed by seals and sea lions I couldn't even see approaching
@@davidbelinsky4825 In his videos the beaches look familiar but the shots of the water are not at all like I remember. Even being on a boat you couldn't see more than an arms length down. Must be kind of creepy to feel things brush against you out of no where. Not a hobby I'd be persuing. Are you sure they were seals and sea lions? Some of the sea lions I'd see lounging on the moored boats in Santa Barbara were quite large.
I have lived in Michigan most of my life, and I've been an avid fisherman. I was absolutely terrified of sharks because I'm very familiar with the aggressive tendencies of smaller freshwater fish. The number of times I've fished top water and have had big fish ambush the lure out of nowhere made me aware of just how easily a fish as large as a white shark could take a human, if it wanted to. Between watching drone footage and watching spearfishing footage, it has really opened my eyes to how different large shark behavior is to the fish that I'm familiar with. I'm still not willing to go into their domain though lol.
Andy Casagrande and others have spent enough time free diving with and hand feeding sharks of all kinds to prove sharks are not really aggressive towards humans, plus Mark Rober on YT did the human blood vs fish blood shark test in shark infested waters and definitively proved sharks are not interested in human/mammal blood at all. It's different when you enter the water to compete for a food source with predators in the area and release dead fish smells aka ring the dinner bell ;but humans that get bit often act like a prey item.
Whale sharks would never "take a human" since they are filter feeders. I am glad you will avoid their domain. You sound like a total Michigander crazy. Sea life does not need that.
Another excellent video. I really hope you can get this on local media to educate the public. We must do all we can to protect these sharks and other marine life.
@@reneesantiago6496 Dead wrong. If you have spent time in the ocean around the world over the last 35 years like I have, then you would see firsthand the issues threatening all marine life.
I love how positive and beautiful your videos are. Sharks have such a bad reputation of being monsters and killers, when in fact they are beautiful animals who deserve our respect. Good job!
I hope to observe sharks in person someday. Your videos are so beautiful and calming. Thank-you so very much for sharing! Some of these people (the people interfering) are why I prefer animals over most people.
Glad you're out there spreading the right kind of message whilst gaining terrific footage, showing the two aren't mutually exclusive. It does never cease to amaze me how anybody wouldn't take very seriously the collateral of agitating a potentially dangerous wild animal in close proximity to other people. To interfere with a large White close to shore and not take seriously that when you finally leave it alone you've got an agitated White shark close to shore. Certainly it's not suddenly going to start hunting humans for sport but it is taken well outside its own comfortable behavioural routines and there are swimmers nearby. Surely some safety legislation is conceivable for that specific reasoning, if someone was shortly attacked following interference wouldn't that be negligent homicide by proxy? I saw this enclosure one time where you could pay the handlers to enter the cages with sedated wild tigers. Some young Japanese tourists were literally climbing onto one about the size of a small car to take selfies, whilst the handler was trying to keep it distracted by continually feeding it morsels of chicken laced with sedatives. I did a quick internet search for the site's safety record and just two weeks earlier a tourist was maimed with a single paw swipe and a girl killed. They don't attack the handlers, they're used to them, they kill tourists who agitate them enough to wake them up from sedation, since only enough is given to make them dopey not knock them out. And people are too stupid to realise this. When they say humans are a bigger danger than wild animals, they're talking about stupidity. Negligence of authorities and stupidity common to random people. Look from afar, leave the damn animals alone. Everybody wants to be that grizzly man that got eaten with his girlfriend. So spiritual to swim with the Great White, yeah fuck off dickhead, not even the tribal indigenous are on your side about that shit, it's not in tune with anything but ego and when they get themselves killed, despite any disclaimer authorities have to go out and shoot the thing. People are idiots man. Aliens would head desk. Humans actually need to be told to leave the giant boat sized shark with razor teeth alone. Talk about a blind evolutionary branch.
Love this . Having been interested in sharks for some years some experts believe sharks are curious and will investigate objects floating on the water .
@@reneesantiago6496 lets see have you even looked it up? estimated humans kill over 50 million sharks per year mostly for their fins. it seems like a huge number but then again the estimate is since there are over 400 types of sharks in the ocean that the population is over 1 billion.
@@reneesantiago6496 Notice how in the video the author says its bad for humans and especially bad for the sharks emphasizing more importance on the sharks feeding habits rather than humans lives which should tell you a lot about this video. ;)
It is absolutely disgusting watching people agitate sharks in their own home like that. Leave nature alone, enjoy it from afar and stop trying to bend it to your will.
Malibu Artist goes out there in a (power?) boat, an act which is an interference and a distraction to marine life in its own right; he operates a drone (think that goes unnoticed in an ocean accustomed to millions of years of predatory bird life?) that creates notice, congestion, in a social media-crazy culture, you think he's leaving nature alone?
When boaters use your drone to locate and HARASS sharks, dip it low enough to catch their boats ID numbers. If that doesn't show them you mean business, I don't know what will.
@@kristinetrott5087 That's exactly what I did with my digital camera about 15 years ago when boats were harassing mating manatees in front of my home in Florida.
I just got back from swimming with sharks without a cage in Hawaii...the water was bright turquoise and you could see down a hundred feet or so...it was beautiful! I was amazed by it all and taking it all in watching the sharks below us swim around gently when a 12 foot shark from the great white family swam up under the boat. It appeared beside me...about six feet from me and came straight for me...he seemed curious, but I decided it was time to go. I made move toward the ladder on the side of the boat and he turned sharply away. It was so strange to stare at a shark in the water just feet from me with nothing between us, but it was even stranger how he was as startled by my movement as I was by seeing him that close. It gave me a new perspective...literally.
I always love your videos! As scared as I'm am of the ocean, sharks in particular, I'm always fascinated watching videos of them. That said, I don't understand why pple wld want to draw a shark closer to their wobbly boat! That's insane to me!
I am not a critic, although I think in one of my initial comments on watching your videos I came off as one. But if I was, I am now an admirer fully. Each video keeps getting better, and your message more concrete (to me anyway). You are doing a very valuable service, and I'm loving it. Keep educating us, as I know you enjoy also educating yourself. That was one big shark by the way. It looked to be 2/3 of the boat length at least, so ~ 12' plus yes? Thanks again TMA.
Another brilliant video by TheMalibuArtist. I find these videos very serene (did I actually say that after seeing Jaws as a 6-year old?) and educational. Thank you for showing us their real nature, not the ones portrayed by Hollywood.
I love your footage and narration. Thank you for showing these majestic creatures as they swim naturally. I told my dentist about you because her daughter is interested in marine biology but is afraid of sharks. I told her that your footage shows normal behavior and maybe they won't be as scary for her. (I do catch myself saying oh no... Nope... When I see how close to shore they are! 😅)
You're amazing ! .. Thank you for all of your work .. I love how much you're trying to educate people about what you've learned about innocent, beautiful sharks in THEIR TERRITORY .. I really hope that they can come up w/laws, that people cannot get so close to sharks while in boats w/these harmful, lethal motors ! .. It's so sad what us humans do are always doing to hurt beautiful nature !
I'm calling the Cuddy Cabin outboard with the three guys following the bruiser at 20 feet in length and just a hand comparison, I'm calling that adult White at 14 feet. What you can't see is the volume or girth of the shark. One thing that happens when these sharks mature is that their volume to surface area changes a lot. These bigger sharks are not only longer, but their overall displacement is disproportionally greater. I remember watching some tagging and tissue and blood sampling done on a share in New England caught on a line and brought into a "dry dock" work area, She was 12 feet in length but so very much more disproportionally in girth than much younger sharks.
Stephanie, There is one up close, moving left and right. There is another much larger shark offshore, Moving towards the beach. Actually swimming straight towards the camera.
Hi Charles, so I watched again and was only catching the left to right fin and something very large off center to the right back a ways. The I popped over to IG and found the other fin in the closer foreground that enters from the right first. I think narrowing my area of vision helped but probably not practical. Any idea what the object is in the distance off to the right?
Was that boat called "Slaughter Time" (eye roll). Thank you for sharing your videos with us, and for encouraging others to be respectful of the sharks!
Wow that was definitely a huge shark. Seeing it next to the boat was a great indication of just how big it was. Thanks for another incredible and informative video!!
I just love these videos you share with us mate. These people should count themselves lucky to be so close to these beautiful and majestic animals in their natural habitat but also to always show respect
I think your passion for these fantastic fish is brilliant,breaks my heart how many they kill every year for fin soup etc and they throw them back in the sea like that, ,humans are the monsters!!!!!!Not sharks!!
The UK govt has just announced a "world-leading" ban on the import and export of all products containing shark fins. Of course, we shall see, but nice to see the problem isn't un-noticed. If other govts address the issue too, we might see an impact (even though we all know the people who are the problem, and how any nation's laws mean little to them)
Up until the time I started watching your videos, I thought that all you had to do was be in the same water as a shark, and you would be attacked! This is what the "attack" videos capitalize on. Thank you for showing another side of sharks that I was totally unaware of.
Your work is so amazing and informative. I’d love to see what you could capture and observe here on Cape Cod, MA. We have a thriving seal population and there seems to be more white sharks here every year. We rely on aerial (airplane) surveillance, tagging & study of our sharks by Dr. Greg Skomal & the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and as surfers use their Sharktivity notification app. This past week, there was a plane doing tight circles over us while we were surfing at Nauset Beach. Researching it I realized the charter companies are now hiring their own spotter plane to mark shark locations so boats can find them. The plane circled, then boats started arriving offshore. A worrisome new practice for the sharks and the surf community.
You mentioned a way you get the disrespectful boaters to remove themselves from the situation, is there a video where you talk about that in more detail? Watching those people try to agitate or get on top of those sharks is so frustrating!
Your videos are incredible and made me realise sharks are such nice friendly creatures I am going to try and go to the beach tomrrow and find sharks to swim with where i can take a picture or something i feel at ease and more confidentn now watching your videos
Thank you so much for your great content gathering all this knowledge to protect these beautiful sharks supporting a respectful and peaceful coexistence.
In the future, can you please highlight the sharks, I generally don’t see them… I can’t believe that boat was harassing the shark, is there a way to report them since you know the name of the boat ?
Getting high and watching these videos is borderline spiritual for me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart (and bong) for making such amazing, heartwarming and meaningful content.
Your doing Great Work. Thank you. Excellent Video sequences. What type and model of Drone are you using for the video? Do you have flotation as emergency contingency on it? Thank you again.
Do you think you would be able to detect the GW at night time using Thermal imaging if the Dorsal fin was above water due to their being slightly warmer blooded like tuna or would the evaporative cooling effect off set that? It would be interesting to see if any other wavelength would allow for visualization. The dermal denticles of the shark skin may reflect light of a different wavelength. Perhaps something closer to UV or 450-460nm may give a fluorescence effect? Hummmmm Just thinking out loud as would possibly make for a very interesting photo.
Your drone actually came in handy with those folks who were teasing/enticing the shark, they stopped doing that after they saw the drone. Thank you for your wonderful videos

Some young Japanese tourists were literally climbing onto one about the size of a small car to take selfies, whilst the handler was trying to keep it distracted by continually feeding it morsels of chicken laced with sedatives. I did a quick internet search for the site's safety record and just two weeks earlier a tourist was maimed with a single paw swipe and a girl killed. They don't attack the handlers, they're used to them, they kill tourists who agitate them enough to wake them up from sedation, since only enough is given to make them dopey not knock them out. And people are too stupid to realise this.
When they say humans are a bigger danger than wild animals, they're talking about stupidity. Negligence of authorities and stupidity common to random people.
Look from afar, leave the damn animals alone. Everybody wants to be that grizzly man that got eaten with his girlfriend. So spiritual to swim with the Great White, yeah fuck off dickhead, not even the tribal indigenous are on your side about that shit, it's not in tune with anything but ego and when they get themselves killed, despite any disclaimer authorities have to go out and shoot the thing. People are idiots man. Aliens would head desk. Humans actually need to be told to leave the giant boat sized shark with razor teeth alone. Talk about a blind evolutionary branch.
Amen to that!
Love this . Having been interested in sharks for some years some experts believe sharks are curious and will investigate objects floating on the water .
Those jerks chasing down the shark and using the drone...that's so frustrating. I wish they could be reported and fined for actions like that.
We need a guy like you on every beach to track the sharks and warn people who get too close.
Amazing! Sharks need to be protected and it's nice that most people that you see respect them ❤️
Protected from what?? Their numbers keep increasing
@@reneesantiago6496 lets see have you even looked it up? estimated humans kill over 50 million sharks per year mostly for their fins. it seems like a huge number but then again the estimate is since there are over 400 types of sharks in the ocean that the population is over 1 billion.
@@reneesantiago6496 Notice how in the video the author says its bad for humans and especially bad for the sharks emphasizing more importance on the sharks feeding habits rather than humans lives which should tell you a lot about this video. ;)
@@rltrahan1325 EXACTLY!!
It is absolutely disgusting watching people agitate sharks in their own home like that. Leave nature alone, enjoy it from afar and stop trying to bend it to your will.
Malibu Artist goes out there in a (power?) boat, an act which is an interference and a distraction to marine life in its own right; he operates a drone (think that goes unnoticed in an ocean accustomed to millions of years of predatory bird life?) that creates notice, congestion, in a social media-crazy culture, you think he's leaving nature alone?
When boaters use your drone to locate and HARASS sharks, dip it low enough to catch their boats ID numbers. If that doesn't show them you mean business, I don't know what will.
And then report them to Fish & Wildlife service!
@@kristinetrott5087 That's exactly what I did with my digital camera about 15 years ago when boats were harassing mating manatees in front of my home in Florida.
Ich freue mich drauf!!! Thank you. 1000 Grüße aus Deutschland ( Germany) from Tina
You will probably need 3 barrels, to keep it from going down.
lol
I just got back from swimming with sharks without a cage in Hawaii...the water was bright turquoise and you could see down a hundred feet or so...it was beautiful! I was amazed by it all and taking it all in watching the sharks below us swim around gently when a 12 foot shark from the great white family swam up under the boat.
It appeared beside me...about six feet from me and came straight for me...he seemed curious, but I decided it was time to go. I made move toward the ladder on the side of the boat and he turned sharply away. It was so strange to stare at a shark in the water just feet from me with nothing between us, but it was even stranger how he was as startled by my movement as I was by seeing him that close. It gave me a new perspective...literally.
I always love your videos! As scared as I'm am of the ocean, sharks in particular, I'm always fascinated watching videos of them.
That said, I don't understand why pple wld want to draw a shark closer to their wobbly boat! That's insane to me!
What amazing footage all around. I appreciate your PSA regarding shark interactions. I just love your channel.
I am not a critic, although I think in one of my initial comments on watching your videos I came off as one. But if I was, I am now an admirer fully. Each video keeps getting better, and your message more concrete (to me anyway). You are doing a very valuable service, and I'm loving it. Keep educating us, as I know you enjoy also educating yourself. That was one big shark by the way. It looked to be 2/3 of the boat length at least, so ~ 12' plus yes? Thanks again TMA.
I would not swim to a boat named slaughter time.
Me either, what a name to give a boat
Awesome, beautiful animals. Thank you for sharing such remarkable footage with us. You are also a wonderful narrator.!!🦈
Another brilliant video by TheMalibuArtist. I find these videos very serene (did I actually say that after seeing Jaws as a 6-year old?) and educational. Thank you for showing us their real nature, not the ones portrayed by Hollywood.
I love your footage and narration. Thank you for showing these majestic creatures as they swim naturally. I told my dentist about you because her daughter is interested in marine biology but is afraid of sharks. I told her that your footage shows normal behavior and maybe they won't be as scary for her. (I do catch myself saying oh no... Nope... When I see how close to shore they are! 😅)
You are asking humans to use common sense, which most severely lack in life!!
Time to start calling it the not so common sense :/
You're amazing ! .. Thank you for all of your work .. I love how much you're trying to educate people about what you've learned about innocent, beautiful sharks in THEIR TERRITORY .. I really hope that they can come up w/laws, that people cannot get so close to sharks while in boats w/these harmful, lethal motors ! .. It's so sad what us humans do are always doing to hurt beautiful nature !
You work is amazing I show your videos to my kids at school. thank you for respecting nature. Our hero!!
I'm calling the Cuddy Cabin outboard with the three guys following the bruiser at 20 feet in length and just a hand comparison, I'm calling that adult White at 14 feet. What you can't see is the volume or girth of the shark.
One thing that happens when these sharks mature is that their volume to surface area changes a lot. These bigger sharks are not only longer, but their overall displacement is disproportionally greater. I remember watching some tagging and tissue and blood sampling done on a share in New England caught on a line and brought into a "dry dock" work area, She was 12 feet in length but so very much more disproportionally in girth than much younger sharks.
The first shark was huge! At the end, with the beach angle I only caught 1 of the 2. I’ll keep training my eye! Thanks
I only caught one too. Maybe I need to see it on my computer instead of my phone.
Stephanie, There is one up close, moving left and right. There is another much larger shark offshore, Moving towards the beach. Actually swimming straight towards the camera.
Hi Charles, so I watched again and was only catching the left to right fin and something very large off center to the right back a ways. The I popped over to IG and found the other fin in the closer foreground that enters from the right first.
I think narrowing my area of vision helped but probably not practical. Any idea what the object is in the distance off to the right?
It's so cool to look at sharks this close. I live in Sweden and we don't have sharks of that size here! Sooo coool! 😄
Thank you for always uploading such suspenseful, yet educational videos. Love ot
You’re doing such beautiful and needed work, Malibu Artist. Thank you for your service to these incredible animals 🙏♥️
❤️ 4 sharks & people encounters, your perspective & views much respect ✊
Was that boat called "Slaughter Time" (eye roll). Thank you for sharing your videos with us, and for encouraging others to be respectful of the sharks!
This is the best and accurate channel of sharks in the whole youtube. Thanks for such an amazing work.
I always love your vids💯🦈💙👌
Wow that was definitely a huge shark. Seeing it next to the boat was a great indication of just how big it was. Thanks for another incredible and informative video!!
Amazing as always! Thank you so much for sharing your footage and thoughts!
Shout out to the first boat captain who wasn't revving their engine or splashing and freaking the shark out
Can you please make a video on what do the Great Whites hunt in these beaches like if there are any seals nearby or do they hunt dolphins and whales.
Such a crucial message. Thank you for all you do, and so beautifully too.
To be honest this channel has a place on Discovery to educate people. Top notch content that deserves 👏👏
This is why your educating on sharks is vital..great videos 👍
Always always respect wildlife in their element!! Yes!!! Just watching them in their habitat should be enough.
I understand so much more about this mysterious animal because of your videos and narration, thank you 💜
I just love these videos you share with us mate. These people should count themselves lucky to be so close to these beautiful and majestic animals in their natural habitat but also to always show respect
I think your passion for these fantastic fish is brilliant,breaks my heart how many they kill every year for fin soup etc and they throw them back in the sea like that,
,humans are the monsters!!!!!!Not sharks!!
The UK govt has just announced a "world-leading" ban on the import and export of all products containing shark fins. Of course, we shall see, but nice to see the problem isn't un-noticed. If other govts address the issue too, we might see an impact (even though we all know the people who are the problem, and how any nation's laws mean little to them)
Amazing contrast ..we need more people like you! Thank you 🦈🖤
Up until the time I started watching your videos, I thought that all you had to do was be in the same water as a shark, and you would be attacked! This is what the "attack" videos capitalize on. Thank you for showing another side of sharks that I was totally unaware of.
Your work is so amazing and informative. I’d love to see what you could capture and observe here on Cape Cod, MA. We have a thriving seal population and there seems to be more white sharks here every year. We rely on aerial (airplane) surveillance, tagging & study of our sharks by Dr. Greg Skomal & the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and as surfers use their Sharktivity notification app.
This past week, there was a plane doing tight circles over us while we were surfing at Nauset Beach. Researching it I realized the charter companies are now hiring their own spotter plane to mark shark locations so boats can find them. The plane circled, then boats started arriving offshore. A worrisome new practice for the sharks and the surf community.
Amazing footage as always!
You mentioned a way you get the disrespectful boaters to remove themselves from the situation, is there a video where you talk about that in more detail? Watching those people try to agitate or get on top of those sharks is so frustrating!
Wow. What a big one. Stunning beautiful 💖
Wow very well explained clearly love from India
You’re so right man. Well done, well done indeed. We need to preserve these prehistoric animals. Thank you my friend.
That looks like 18 to 20 feet to me. Beautiful video. Thank you and jeep educating people. Thats what we need. More education in everything.
Beautiful footage and commentary.
Thank you
Your videos are incredible and made me realise sharks are such nice friendly creatures I am going to try and go to the beach tomrrow and find sharks to swim with where i can take a picture or something i feel at ease and more confidentn now watching your videos
Gigantic shark! Magnificent creature👊👍
Brilliant! I go to malibu every weekend to swim and chill on the beach and I tell everyone about your channel!
Amazing photography
Lindo vídeo... Animal fantástico e lindo❤❤❤!!!
My favourite channel 💛
Thank you so much for your great content gathering all this knowledge to protect these beautiful sharks supporting a respectful and peaceful coexistence.
Love your video work. Beautiful content and very informative. Great job!
Sharks: Very magnificent animals that should be respected and preserved. Humans: Not so much. 😣
Great video 🎥👀channel and narration!
In the future, can you please highlight the sharks, I generally don’t see them…
I can’t believe that boat was harassing the shark, is there a way to report them since you know the name of the boat ?
Great to see this guy getting more and more subscribers, as a channel it's absolutely top drawer.
5:04 looks like they have a systematic triangle territory behaviour
Getting high and watching these videos is borderline spiritual for me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart (and bong) for making such amazing, heartwarming and meaningful content.
That Great White Shark appears to be appx 12' long. Pretty big boy.
Ok, I'm intrigued. How DO you discourage people from following your drone to the sharks? What video is that in?
The work you are doing is extremely important...
That shark will never be the same after the broom slapping! Congratulation you have moved up a notch in your environmental extremism!
What a beauty!!
Your doing Great Work. Thank you. Excellent Video sequences. What type and model of Drone are you using for the video? Do you have flotation as emergency contingency on it? Thank you again.
Do you think you would be able to detect the GW at night time using Thermal imaging if the Dorsal fin was above water due to their being slightly warmer blooded like tuna or would the evaporative cooling effect off set that? It would be interesting to see if any other wavelength would allow for visualization. The dermal denticles of the shark skin may reflect light of a different wavelength. Perhaps something closer to UV or 450-460nm may give a fluorescence effect? Hummmmm Just thinking out loud as would possibly make for a very interesting photo.
Thanks for your work. 🎯🇸🇪
Great footage and great messaging
Awesome Carlos!
Wow. Your videos are amazing.
