B.C. author works to dispel myths about sharks in new book
In his new book, Sharks Forever: The Mystery and History of the Planet’s Perfect Predator, Saanich author Mark Leiren-Young takes a deep dive to explore why sharks aren’t the dangerous creatures society depicts them to be.
After Stewart died suddenly while filming Sharkwater Extinction in 2017, Leiren-Young posted some of the audio clips he took during his numerous conversations about sharks with Stewart.“Suddenly I was hired as the person to help make sure that this movie had an impact on the world,” Leiren-Young said. “I was basically thrown into the deep end with the sharks, trying to learn everything I could as quickly as possible.
To write the book, Leiren-Young interviewed countless researchers and other people who swim with sharks and call them friends. “The sharks must go, ‘Oh, you’re the guy who knows how to take the sticks out. I heard about you from whatever the shark grapevine is,’” Leiren-Young said. “And that’s fascinating to me.”
