White Shark Cruising Next to Swimmer off Aptos, Monterey Bay, California. Eric Mailander 2019-06-26 | This is a 10-foot white shark that was patrolling up and down New Brighton State Beach when a swimmer passed through. The shark was just minding it's own business, warming-up, but we ended up letting the swimmer know that there was a large shark in the water that we were filming. Didn't want to cause a panic but felt we had a duty to act, even though shark warning signs are posted at this location. At any rate, these sharks like the shallows since the water is warm there and interactions with swimmers, surfers, boogie boarders and SUP are going to be inevitable.

Dog Jumps Off Boat with Dolphins Eric Mailander 2020-04-06 | My puppy was so excited seeing bow-riding dolphins that she decided to jump in with them! This happened 13 miles out of Moss Landing on the outer Monterey Bay as I was filming the dolphins with my GoPro. I was lucky that I left her harness on as I had something to grab onto when I rescued her. The dolphins circled her as she dog-paddled toward the boat knowing she was in distress or just curious. Oddly enough, she know loves the water!

Salmon Shark Entangled Eric Mailander 2019-11-02 | I spotted this 6-foot salmon shark last Spring in the Monterey Bay that was snagged by a hook, line and salmon flasher. I assumed it went after a hooked salmon and broke off after becoming snagged. Or maybe it is trolling on its own for salmon? I believe this is the first drone footage of a salmon shark in the Monterey Bay. A week later I found another one!

White Shark In Shallows Eric Mailander 2019-07-03 | This juvenile white shark came within perhaps 20 yards of a child on a boogie board, playing in the surf at New Brighton Beach....probably the "sharkiest" beach in California right now. I believe the child was in no danger as the white sharks that frequent the area are finding warm water pockets near shore. The drone alerted the child to vacate the surf so all good.
