From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul
de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our
help as much as we need them. Something happens to you the first
time you dive with sharks… We have a perennial fascination with
sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing
machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is
so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450
million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent
kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark
to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter.
Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at
serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. Paul de
Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an
elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his
recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that,
despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated
his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these
unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what
will happen if we don’t look out for them.
