@LewisPugh @achmathassiem @LewisPughFDN @UNEP I was on the beach the day it happened & strangely enough there again when Achmat visited the beach for the first time after the event. Thank you @achmathassiem for all you have done on behalf of sharks and for being their ambassador. #SharkWeek

Happy Sharkaversary to my friend and hero @achmathassiem. He lost his leg to a great white shark he named “Scarlet” this day fourteen years ago. Read his incredible story of courage, purpose and conservation here:
