When Mike Coots was 18, he lost his leg to a shark bite. It was near his home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good. Suddenly a large shark came right up under Mike and sank his teeth into Mike's lower leg and Mike felt no pain.
As he struggled (挣扎), the shark bit down harder. He beat the shark in the face again and again until the shark let him go. As Mike swam back into shore he realized the shark had bit his lower right leg off. Mike's friends rushed to his aid. The doctors later told Mike that's probably what kept him alive during the drive to the hospital.
As soon as Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. Mike was unshaken. He was curious—why was he attacked?
His curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around. “I watched a documentary, and I learned about the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins (鳍) alone.”
He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on sharkderived products. He also likes using his photos to spread the message about what's happening to sharks and why it matters. “Sharks are here on earth for a very important reason, holding together the web of biodiversity, and without them, our seas cannot survive.”
