Shark Week Is Here!

With All The Chatter Lately About Sharks, What Better Time Than Now For Shark Week
Shark Week Link for Episodes and Schedule


Discovery Channel's annual must-see event, Shark Week, is back this summer with seven premiere programs that spotlight the sea's apex predator, including two specials hosted by Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) that profile the people whose jobs are to work with sharks. Airing Sunday, August 2 through Friday, August 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT each night, Shark Week is produced in conjunction with leading shark researchers around the globe, and provides viewers with valuable knowledge about the behavior and characteristics of this diverse and majestic species.

Shark Weekhost Mike Rowe introduces each night’s premiere special, and also hosts the Sunday, August 2nd two-hour kickoff special Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite, and the Friday, August 7 one-hour special Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite Harder. For both, Mike travels around the globe to do jobs that really "bite," alongside the dedicated men and women who work with the ocean’s most efficient predator. From performing shark necropsies to tagging and tracking the migration patterns of sharks, and testing shark repellants and chain mail, these jobs help better our understanding of shark behavior.

More on Fly Fish Addiction


Checkout the O'REILLY Radar site has an interesting story about the new Discovery Channel interactive online game, Sharkrunners. This game lets players take the role of a marine biologist and track sharks online. The more shark you find the more funding you get for your program. The catch is that the game play is actually driven by real time GPS data from actual transmitters attached to actual sharks that are swimming in the actual ocean.


"Players are given a virtual boat and virtual crew. They use it to track real-life sharks that have been tagged with a GPS recievers. When a boat encounters a shark the player is alerted via email and/or SMS. The player has three hours to select how to try to collect data about the shark and its behavior. The goal is to gather as much data about sharks as possible."
