Ayuh, fella goes out fishin’ in Saco Bay, comes back with a shark story bigger’n the boat. Great white in the shallows. Guess even sharks want a Maine summer vacation. Tip to the shark: Try the Clambake in Scarborough, ME, for fresh catch of the day. #OceanHoptimism #MaineLife #SharkSighting #Ayuh
The reported sighting on Saturday morning was about 200 feet offshore in relatively shallow waters.

But dignity demands we remember: Pacific people are not powerless. The same voice that elects leaders can demand real protections, ones that last longer than any single presidency. #OceanJustice #PacificPower
This is the hard truth: when ballots are cast for those who see oceans as profit first, communities end up paying the price. Votes shape who gets protected and who gets left behind. #ElectionsHaveConsequences #OceanRisks
Over 70% of American Samoans backed the GOP in the last election. Now this administration is opening their waters to seafloor mining. This is what elections decide: not just leaders, but the fate of the ocean itself. #OceanJustice #PacificVoices #DeepSeaMining
