Lewis has completed #TheSharkSwim around Martha’s Vineyard! 🦈🏊‍♂️🌊. The swim was about highlighting how sharks are essential for a healthy ocean. But they are under serious threat - 275,000 are killed every day. To protect the ocean, we must protect its apex predators:. 📉 Less

#DYK sharks don’t have bones? Instead, they are made up of cartilaginous tissue, similar to our ears and the tips of our noses! This makes them much lighter than other species and gives them optimal buoyancy 🦈🩻🛟. #sharksofinstagram #sharkfacts #didyouknow #sharkscience

Instead of celebrating Jaws the movie, why not celebrate sharks — the real stars of the ocean?. All profits go towards our shark advocacy. Educate, Respect, Protect. 🦈 Wear your support 🦈. #JawsAnniversary #Jaws50 #TheSharkSwim #ProtectWhatYouLove #SharkFest. @SanJoseSharks

Today marks 50 years since Jaws premiered. It's time to stop treating sharks as villains, says @LewisPugh.#Jaws50 #TheSharkSwim .
