About this episode

In this episode of the Ocean Lovers Podcast, Jess sits down with marine biologist and shark researcher Bella for a conversation about sharks, conservation, and some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding one of the ocean’s most misunderstood animals. Together, they chat about shark behaviour, public perception, shark nets, conservation challenges, and why education plays such an important role in protecting these incredible animals. Bella shares stories from her work in shark research, what she’s learned from spending time in the water with sharks, and why fear and fascination often go hand in hand. A conversation about curiosity, conservation, and learning to better understand the animals that help keep our oceans healthy. 🌊🦈 Bella:  @bellabluconservation Follow Clear Tides & the Ocean Lovers Podcast:  @clear.tides  www.cleartides.net
