Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

When you think about beautiful, crisp Alaskan landscapes, you might also picture the bustling activity of the Bering Sea – a hub for seafood like snow crabs. But what if the landscape is changing, and not just visually? In the last few years, billions of crabs disappeared from the Bering Sea and the event has alarmed both fishermen and scientists alike.

Mako sharks are apex predators who terrorize their ocean prey with their speed and power. Found up and down both coasts of the United States, and down into the Caribbean, over near Hawaii, and pretty much everywhere in between, these predators can reach lengths of 12 feet, and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. They use their razor sharp teeth to eat tuna, swordfish and squid, and with a top speed of over 45 miles per hour, they are the fastest of any shark species.

Their insane speeds also allow them to make some incredible leaps, coming fully out of the water. Sounds like a sport fisherman’s dream, right? Well... until they take your catch.

For a group of anglers off the coast of the California, the tax man came in August. The group was hooked into a bluefin tuna near San Diego, reeled it to the boat, gaffed it, and out of nowhere, a big ol' mako shark came to snag a bite.

Catch and release – via wrestling move. The catch and release method isn’t always the flashiest form of fishing, but this angler is trying to single handedly change that perception. He turned a regular release of a hefty tuna fish into a spectacle straight out of the WWE. If PETA asks, this guy was just trying to break the surface of the water to soften the landing for the fish.
