Shark SURVIVORS

"I feel very sorry about this man and the loss of his hands being lost to him during the attack in the Telyakovsky Bay. I write this blog to extend our greetings and tell you we are available if you ever need assistance p1ease let us know." "I never knew that water would give you such physical and emotional pain, did you?"

Maggie Sharkbait Foundation Inc. crew 0:38 Russia Shark chomps off man's hands in Russia's Far East 18:12 17/08/2011 VLADIVOSTOK, August 17 (RIA Novosti) Related News * Shark in Red Sea attacks still on loose * Shark attacks: Provoked by humans or ecosystem changes? * Ecosystem damage causes shark attacks at popular Egyptian resort A shark attacked a man swimming near the Russian shores of the Sea of Japan and bit off both of his hands, a doctor from Primorye Territory regional medical center said on Wednesday. "The shark attacked the man in Telyakovsky Bay near the village of Vityaz. It mauled him and bit off his hands," the doctor said, adding that the injured had been taken to a hospital in serious condition. An ichthyologist from the Institute of Marine Biology in the Far East said the shark attack was most likely related to feeding grounds as anchovies move towards shallower waters to warm themselves, though this usually occurs at the beginning of summer. There is now further information about the fate of the shark."

"We are coming up on anniversary of Rodney Fox's hit and I thought I would take a moment to reflect.  He was the first we really heard about - I spoke with his son a few years back and they were still on the water.  Sending our best wishes across the pond to the Fox family."

"I was really surprised to read about the other body surfer,  an 86 year old man who is a WWII veteran who was bitten by a shark his name is Bob Brown.  I try to stay on top of these things but my role differs from Al Brenneka who is my friend  and organized the shark attack survivors files extensively. He is the one who puts together a plethora  of information."

"Getting back to Mr. Brown I found it superneat, he was so  refreshing about his shark hit and was in such good spirits after his incident last month at Mickler's.  If anyone knows how he is doing please post I would love to have a chat with him as we have so many things in common...A1A, Navy, sharks and body surfing. I sure hope I am in as good a shape and hold as much charisma as Mr. Brown - he rocked!."

SHARKBAIT FOUNDATION meeting with Al Brennaka and J. Coleman


"Al Brennaka stopped by on his way back to North Carolina.  Al lost his arm to a lemon shark while surfing in Delray Beach on Thanksgiving Day.  He was 17 at the time, he and Rodney Fox's bites were the first to be televised.  Al has put together a shark survivors and statistics sight called Shark Attack Survivors.com."

"We have spoken together for the last few years about the ways in which we could help others who have met similar fates around the globe.  Shark attack survivors who help in their respective communities are abundant. It is such a surreal fate that it remains with you always. I think of the Egyptian and Red-Sea shark attack survivors and the 2 who were lost a month ago who were divers from Russia.  Two were women like me.....I would very much like to meet with them. If anyone knows how to contact them please let us know."

When we began this journey no one really knew what to expect. There has been tremendous heartache in hand with absolute joy.

We know that we are not alone in the quest for clean drinking water for all people. Or for my jag with the emphasis on aquatic safety skills and training.It is a must for our children!

The ocean has taught families how to live off both water and land. May we all continue to do so. The water holds  a  bond so deep between us that through our oceans we rely upon each other to survive.
