Welcome to the newest online issue of Scotch Bonnet<\/em>. This marine education newsletter also is available as a PDF<\/a> \u2014 if you\u2019re like me and want to keep a hard copy!<\/p>\n

\"shark_web\"Fall is finally here. For me, that is such a relief. I love the crisp mornings and snuggly nights. But, remember this summer when we heard so much about shark encounters \u2014 notice I\u2019m not using the word \u201cattack\u201d \u2014 along the East Coast? Katie Mosher, communications director for North Carolina Sea Grant, teamed up with Eleanor Spicer Rice, part of a science blogging team, to develop a blog post about the shark-human situation during the summer of 2015. It\u2019s a very entertaining, yet educational, piece of work. The illustrations by a clinical social worker are the icing on the proverbial cake!<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the antishark attack handbook blog post: buzzhootroar.com\/anti-shark-attack<\/a>; and here is the link to the blog post turned poster: buzzhootroar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sharks_onepage.pdf<\/a>. Enjoy \u2014 and learn!<\/p>\n
