Ocean Ramsay's new documentary, called Shark Whisperer, is out on Netflix, and this is my review. This episode investigates Ocean Ramsey’s viral shark interactions, including her approach of touching and redirecting sharks in open water. We explore how these encounters influence shark behavior and why marine scientists warn about potential stress, habituation, and public safety concerns when sharks associate humans with food or physical contact.
Shark Conservation: We break down Ramsey’s role in raising awareness for shark conservation and her contributions to Hawaii’s 2021 shark fishing ban. While supporters credit her high-profile advocacy with inspiring public action, critics question whether her methods overshadow the Kanaka-led cultural and scientific leadership behind the legislation.
Shark Touching: We examine the controversy surrounding Ramsey’s touching of sharks, allegations of chumming or handfeeding, and inconsistencies around her educational credentials. We also highlight how her large online following can inspire positive ocean awareness but sometimes leads to online attacks against scientists working on shark conservation through rigorous research.
