Mick Fanning is on a Mission to Save the Sharks

You’re likely wondering, “Isn’t Mick Fanning the surfer that punched a shark at J-Bay?” Yes, he is, and it turns out that Fanning holds no bad blood towards the behemoth fish. In a new National Geographic documentary called Save This Shark the 3x World Surf Champion is exploring the world of ocean conservation, specifically how the ocean's most feared predator is under dire threat. Despite their bad reputation, more sharks are killed by humans annually than vice versa. Check out the infographic below to get a better grasp of the issue, and be sure to catch Fanning in his new stint as a marine biologist.
