Breanna Ward: Swimming for Sharks
While many people fear swimming in the ocean because of sharks, one woman is doing it for sharks. Breanna Ward, driven by a passion for the ocean and its inhabitants, is preparing to swim the Foveaux Strait (Te Ara a Kiwa) in New Zealand, a known great white shark breeding ground. As Breanna swims across vast waters, one stroke at a time, she carries with her the hope of a healthier ocean, where sharks thrive and where fear gives way to respect.
