TeleConference

 

Thank you for your interest in my upcoming, free, one-hour Teleconference, "Sharks: Encounters, Myths and Mysteries" with special guest Tom Larkin. While he was surfing off Huntington Beach on Friday, March 7, 2008, Tom and his surfboard got up close and personal with a 15’ Great White Shark (See Pacific Coast Shark News 2008).

On this call, in addition to my conversation with Tom, we will dispel some of the myths and mysteries that engulf sharks, such as: Do Great White Sharks attack humans because we look like a seal? What can I do to reduce the likelihood of being attacked by a shark? And, time permitting we will also address some of your questions.

The TeleConference will be held on Tuesday, August 19th at 6:30 PM (Pacific). To participate in this call, here's all you need to do. Right now send an email* to:

Ralph@SharkResearchWorldwide.org

and put the word “Conference” in the subject line of your email. That’s it. There is no need to write a message. We will send you all the details.

IMPORTANT: Because of the volume of spam we receive daily, I’m afraid if your message does not say “Conference” in the subject line, it might be deleted.

So, please join me for a hair-raising conversation with Tom Larkin about his meeting with a Great White Shark and for the answers to your questions.

Again, the email address is:

Ralph@SharkResearchWorldwide.org

I look forward to hearing from you.
