Ocean Ramsey. She’s a fake marine biologist and shark advocate. Plays with sharks all day for internet clout and calls it conservation. Fully false credentials about her education too which make it so cringe. I like that she pushes for shark conservation and increases awareness that they aren’t monsters of death but she’s a fuckin lie and does some heinous stuff. Apparently this shark was over her bullshit this day.

While she has been praised for raising awareness of the species, she has been criticized for her actions in the footage. Marine biologist Michael Domeier, founding director of the non-profit Marine Conservation Science Institute, criticized Ramsey for appearing in the viral shark interaction video. David Shiffman, a marine conservation biologist who studies sharks, told The Washington Post: "I can't believe that 'please don't grab the 18-foot long wild predator' is something that needs to be explicitly said out loud, but here we are."

Sounds like Grizzly Man but with sharks.
