Surviving

Debbie Salamone: Trying to save the shark that bit her

Season 1 Episode 3

When Debbie Salamone was bitten by a shark, she had no idea how much it would transform her life. After recovering, she went back to school to get her master's degree and changed her career from journalism to advocacy. She organized a group of like-minded shark attack survivors and pushed for conservation measures to help endangered shark populations recover after decades of overfishing.

More information on her survivor group can be found on their Facebook page.
