  • Sharks don’t want to eat you, but if you’re an oceanlife enthusiast you probably already knew that.

    Skaana is a great listen for deep dives (no pun intended) with experts, activists, scientists and more into the fascinating underwater universe, our oceans animal residents, and our messy relationships to them. Because if anyone’s the real threat here, it’s humans. This show is for animal lovers and activists alike.

    It breaks my heart that governments didn’t stop allowing these beautiful creatures to be taken from their families.

    I grew up in Chippawa (Niagara Falls) and have never liked any of their attractions from the sea to be captive. They should never have been taken from the ocean for any re... more
