by personnel from the Autoridad de los Recursos Acuáticos de Panamá (ARAP) at the facilities of Puerto Panamá, two Panamanian citizens were found in possession of sacks containing shark fins.

A total of 90 fins were seized, weighing 26.85 kilograms, as a result of ongoing control and surveillance operations being conducted at strategic locations across the country, with the support of units from the Servicio Nacional Aeronaval.

We call on the public to respect current regulations. In Panama, Law 9 of 2006 establishes that “the practice of shark finning is prohibited in the jurisdictional waters of the Republic of Panama and sets forth other provisions.”#sharkscience #sharkconservation #savesharks #nofinning #stopfinning

It was an era in the 17th century, when Spanish galleons crossed the Caribbean and the Pacific, carrying the wealth of the New World.
Today, we work on those recovery sites.

It’s hard work. Long hours. Careful… methodical… searching beneath layers of sand and time.

And then—you find something.

It could be a cannon. Iron… or bronze.
A single coin.
A musket ball…
Or a fragment of a sword.

Not necessarily something of great value… but something far more important.

Because in that moment, you realize…

no one has touched this object since the day it sank… back in the 1600s.

For centuries… it remained exactly where it was lost.

And now… you’re the first.

That feeling…

is impossible to describe.

Myth vs Reality: Sharks and Human Blood

There is a long-standing myth that sharks are attracted specifically to human blood.
That is not accurate.

Sharks are biologically adapted to detect the chemical signals of their natural prey — mainly fish and marine mammals. Their sensory systems evolved over millions of years to find injured or stressed marine animals, not humans.

Can sharks detect substances in the water? Yes.
But detection is not the same as attraction, and it is not the same as triggering feeding behavior.

In real-world ocean conditions, sharks respond far more to:
• Fish oils and bait activity
• Injured fish signals
• Vibration and erratic movement
• Environmental feeding events like bait balls

Humans are not part of a shark’s natural diet.
Most shark encounters are based on curiosity, environment, or mistaken identity — not because sharks are “hunting people.”

Education matters.
Understanding sharks correctly is one of the most important steps in protecting them and protecting healthy oceans.

As I turned to reposition for a shot, three silkies came right on top of me. One moved directly under my arm. I simply opened my arm and let it pass naturally under my armpit, over my camera, and continue on its way.

No panic.
No sudden movement.
Just respect for the animal and understanding the moment.

Encounters like this are powerful reminders that sharks are not mindless killers. They are intelligent, investigative predators trying to understand their environment — and sometimes, that includes us.

Curiosity is not aggression.
Close does not always mean danger.
Education is everything.

The more we understand these animals, the better we can protect them — and the oceans they help keep in balance.

When filming Great White Sharks, we sometimes use what’s called a CATS FinCam system — short for Customized Animal Tracking Solutions — equipped with an acoustic receiver and a 360° GoPro camera.

The setup allows us to capture incredible front and rear views of the shark at the same time — from its powerful nose cutting through the water to the rhythmic movement of its tail behind. It’s a full 360-degree perspective of one of the ocean’s most majestic predators.

These FinCams can stay attached for several #hours, recording every moment before releasing automatically, thanks to special saltwater-triggered springs that dissolve and safely detach the system.

Every clip gives us a new angle into the secret life of the Great White. 🦈🎥🌊

Las FinCams pueden permanecer adheridas durante hasta 8 horas, grabando cada momento antes de liberarse automáticamente gracias a unos resortes especiales activados por agua salada que se disuelven y desprenden de forma segura.

Cada toma nos muestra un nuevo ángulo en la vida secreta del gran tiburón blanco. 🦈🎥🌊

Happy to report that our close friend, Mauricio is recovering very nicely, and will soon be heading home. This is a huge releive for all of us. The outporing of love was amazing. Mauricio is a renowned Mexican marine biologist and leading shark researcher, is recovering after being bitten by a shark this past Saturday during a Fins Attached Marine Research And Conservation and ONE OCEAN WORLDWIDE COALITION scientific expedition at Cocos Island, Costa Rica, and yes, the shark was tagged. We’ll forgive Mauricio for loosing the pole spear 😄
