Jess Cramp: The Untold Story of Sharks
National Geographic Live brings explorers from the field to the live stage, as shark researcher and explorer Dr. Jess Cramp aims to change old narratives about sharks. Sharks have roamed the planet’s waters since before the dinosaurs and have evolved into more than 500 species. But only recently have we begun to understand how our actions can threaten them.
