Lewis Pugh, a renowned endurance swimmer, aims to be the first to swim around Martha’s Vineyard, emphasizing shark conservation to challenge misconceptions fostered by the film 'Jaws'. Over 12 days, Pugh will traverse 62 miles in 47-degree water, advocating for sharks' protection due to their vital role in ocean ecosystems, as shark populations decline dramatically due to overfishing. This swim aligns with the start of the white shark migration season and marks a unique approach to changing public perception of this often-misunderstood species. Pugh highlights a connection between environmental health and human survival.
