There are other animals up for "adoption" as well.Contribute to The Shark Research Committee on someone's behalf: The Shark Research Committee is … [Read more...]
The Chum Slick Shares Our Love of Hate Mail

Just discovered a hilarious post over at The Chum Slick, and it involves a very angry "Zac's Mate" who has a few choice words for our fellow sharky blog. Here's a sample (WARNING: the following language is not appropriate for minors!) :you can go fuck yourself, people that get attcked by shark need every bit of supprt they can get. i know because im close friends with someone mentioned on your site. if i ever met you in person i would seriously punch you in the face, you are an absolute fucking … [Read more...]
Fear Beneath Gets An Upgrade
Thursday, December 4, 2008 By View Comments
With the release of Wordpress 2.7 (our fantastic publishing platform) imminent, we decided to go ahead and upgrade the site to a "fancy new look" that we've been admiring (shout out to Bryan Gardner at Revolution Two!) for a bit.The new Wordpress will allow for a threaded comment system, making things a little easier to read, and the site layout has been simplified and made more efficient (while we loved having the splash page as the entrance to the site, it means extra clicks for our readers. … [Read more...]

LA Times’ Pete Thomas Covers Florida Shark Attack Epidemic
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 By View Comments
At The Fear Beneath one of our favorite blogs is Outposts, written by Pete Thomas. Pete covers hiking, surfing, fishing, and the great outdoors in Southern California; he's picked up on the Volusia County Shark Attacks with an article titled "Florida: Summer of the Shark II." We were (as always) delighted to see a mention of The Fear Beneath and our coverage of all the Volusia County shark madness.Here's an excerpt:There's a lot not to like about Florida -- its flatness, the heat and humidity, … [Read more...]
Zero Coverage of Volusia County Shark Attacks in 2008
Friday, September 26, 2008 By View Comments
Mark Lane asks the same questions we've been asking for weeks here at The Fear Beneath; with a record-tying 22 shark attacks in Volusia County this year, where is the media? Have they suspended their coverage of shark attacks as a public safety issue? When Volusia County sets the record for shark attacks in a single year, will the news media finally wake up? Mark points out that this should be a selling point for tourism, not a detractor from it.By Mark LaneNEW SMYRNA BEACH, VOLUSIA COUNTY, … [Read more...]
