Emperors Of The Deep: Sharks — The Ocean’s Most Mysterious, Most Misunderstood,
and Most Important Guardians
With Author, Filmmaker William McKeever
Sharks: Emperors Of The Deep with William McKeever
Show Description:
Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto for a revealing and fascinating conversation about our relatives in the sea–sharks. He is joined by William McKeever, author of the new book, Emperors of The Deep: Sharks—The Ocean’s Most Mysterious, Most Misunderstood, and Most Important Guardians.
This show takes a deep look into how these magnificent creatures are truly evolutionary marvels whose abilities will amaze you, while dispelling the narrative about sharks (from Jaws to “Shark Week,) which claims they’re terrifying underwater predators. In 2019 there were five human fatalities, only two of which were confirmed as unprovoked. On the other hand, humans are responsible for unnecessarily killing over 100 million of these intelligent animals who play an integral role in maintaining the health of the world’s oceans—and, ultimately, the fate of our planet.
William McKeever will draw from his years of research to thoroughly address the question of how we can live in harmony with sharks. Listen to hear how you can be part of the much-needed solution.
