More Sustainable World.... Science Heroes at the California Academy of Sciences Museum in San Francisco take care of the animals, grow coral, clean tanks, design exhibits, educate kids, and lead active research across the globe. When Dr John McCosker, the Academy’s chair of Aquatic Biology was asked what’s the most exciting thing a marine biologist can do? He was quick to answer: 'Get in the water with great white sharks!' McCaskey was the first trained marine biologist to swim with sharks off the coast of South Australia in an underwater cage, with initial studies that would transform the great white
and sand chairs, with more to follow. The first hotels to benefit from the new ‘beach boutique’ concept will include Aqua Palms and Spa, Aqua Aloha Surf and Spa, Aqua Bamboo and Spa, Alicia Hotel and Suites and Coconut Waikiki Hotel. The creative is to be rolled out in
future marketing and PR campaigns and included in all brochures.

from a fearsome man-eater shrouded in misunderstanding to the dominant, albeit respected, species at the top of the ocean food chain. In his decades- long career, McCaskey has interviewed dozens of people attacked by sharks. Now he sees the tables
turned: sharks are under unprecedented attack by man. Tens of millions of sharks are being
killed each year to supply the Asian shark fin soup market. “It's tragic for sharks, and tragic for
the ecosystem,” McCaskey says. “Sharks are top-level predators for the ocean ecosystem. And the oceans are collapsing. When the sharks go, there are no controls,” says McCaskey. Once a top-line predator disappears, the next species down the food chain expands in abundance and eats most everything that's below it in the food chain, and then their population crashes. As you can see, a California Academy of Sciences Hero's life is never dull!
