Gene Helfman waits at the Shaw
Island, Washington, ferry dock
with Cary, his helium-filled, radio-
controlled White Shark. Gene and
Cary lecture regularly to school and
community groups about sharks
and shark conservation. Cary is very
adept at keeping people’s attention.

George Burgess with Dusky Shark
jaws and preserved shark “pups”
in his lab at the Florida Museum
of Natural History. Large duskies
are now rarely caught in the Gulf of
Mexico, and museum specimens
like these unfortunately document
the way the natural world used to be.
With proper fishery management,
duskies and other sharks can return
to their former level of abundance
within our lifetimes. Photo by Florida
