Sharks, Myths & the Truth Beneath: A Conversation with Ocean Advocate Jim Abernethy
In this eye-opening episode of Mermaid Musings, ocean activist and mermaid Tara Coyote dives deep with renowned shark conservationist and wildlife advocate Jim Abernethy to expose the truth about one of the ocean’s most misunderstood creatures: sharks.
Jim reveals why sharks are vital to the health of our oceans, how their role as the “lungs of the planet” keeps marine ecosystems in balance, and why the fear-fueled myths popularized by movies like Jaws are dangerously misleading.
Despite their shy nature, sharks are facing extinction - up to 150 million sharks are killed each year, primarily for food and cosmetic purposes, while only an average of 6 human deaths are attributed to sharks annually. Jim challenges the narrative and shares his personal experiences swimming with sharks, advocating for their protection, and empowering others to help save them.

Whales, Wonder & Conservation with Ted Cheeseman | Tracking Ocean Giants with Happywhale
In the premiere episode of Mermaid Musings, Tara Coyote - mermaid, author, cancer thriver, and ocean activist - dives deep into a powerful conversation with her brother, Ted Cheeseman, a marine biologist, scientist, and the founder of Happywhale.
Ted is a world leader in whale research, revolutionizing how we track and understand whales using innovative tail recognition software. His work helps researchers across the globe monitor whale populations and advocate for the protection of our oceans.
Together, Tara and Ted discuss:
The magic and intelligence of humpback and sperm whales
The dangers whales face today, including plastic pollution and ocean noise
The importance of maintaining a healthy marine ecosystem
Their shared upbringing by environmentalist parents, who ran Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris
Tara’s children’s book, Kaimana the Hawaiian Mermaid, inspired by a tragic but true event: a sperm whale that washed up ashore on Kaua’i due to garbage ingestion and how a group of mermaids made a positive impact for the Earth and all of humanity.
A portion of the proceeds from ‘Kaimana the Hawaiian Mermaid (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP7Y2YCY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_NDRZXXF3K6W087KQ4K9Z?linkCode=ml1&tag=windhorssanc-20)’ goes to support Happywhale, contributing to global whale conservation efforts (*I make a small commission when you order from this link!).
