Cristina Zenato Instagram – The barrier that drops the barrier between sharks and us.
The use of the chainsuit is at time scorned and ridiculed as if it’s a discrepancy between my advocacy for sharks and my actions on the field.
To me it’s the contrary; wearing protection to safely welcome a shark (Caribbean Reef) in my lap is the way we advocate for safe interactions, for the benefit of all involved. When I don’t interact and welcome a shark to rest on my legs and in my lap, I don’t wear a suit, same as I don’t wear a suit when working with tigers or great hammer head sharks. Similarly to a bird of prey we wear an arm cover to allow the bird to rest on our arm not because of the intentions of the bird but because of shape and nature of the claws.
This might be the only place in the world where I encourage to welcome a shark in our lap, to interact in such close manner, while wearing the barrier that drops the barrier between sharks and us.
