National Geographic Live brings our Explorers from the field to your city, live on stage.
Get up close with the most powerful predators in the ocean alongside shark researcher
and National Geographic Explorer Dr. Jess Cramp, who aims to change the old
narratives of these graceful icons.
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 their lives—
and how our actions can threaten their survival. Dr. Jess Cramp taps into the National
Geographic archives to discover the work of 20th-century women leading shark science
and storytelling before she dives into her own cutting-edge research and conservation.
Swim alongside her under the vibrant waters of the South Pacific to find out what it truly
means to save sharks.
Dr. Jess Cramp is a shark researcher who specializes in conservation policy and
engaging communities in the management of their ocean. Jess co-championed a
grassroots campaign that resulted in the Cook Islands Shark Sanctuary in 2012,
an area exceeding 770,000 square miles. She is the founder and executive director
of Sharks Pacific, a non-profit organization that conducts research, outreach, and
advocacy throughout the Pacific Islands region.
