Just like outer space, the ocean is a vast expanse that humans likely won’t be able to explore in its entirety. There is a lot we don’t know, and for some people, that can be both fascinating and terrifying

So far, all we have are these photos to give us an idea of how much more is out there. Outside of Hollywood’s influences through Jaws and Deep Blue Sea, some of these images may induce a nasty case of thalassophobia, a.k.a the fear of the ocean or large bodies of water. Others may pique your curiosity. 

As always, we’ve collected the ones that stood out to us. Don’t forget to upvote and comment on those that catch your eye!

    While there is nothing wrong with having fears, thalassophobia has had a negative effect on human exploration. A 2021 article published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science discussed how the fear of the ocean and bodies of water has resulted in a lack of interest in deep-sea science. 

    “It is not surprising that funding for astronomy and space research far surpasses funding for deep-sea exploration when the great heights are celestial or spiritual, nor is it surprising that much of the language used to describe the deep sea exaggerates the chthonic (relating to or inhabiting the underworld),” the study authors wrote.

    So, what exactly are people afraid of? Sharks and getting attacked by one would be the easy answer, but according to a survey by the University of South Australia, this isn’t the case. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Apparently, people are more scared of stingrays, crabs, and jellyfish. The fear of drowning also surpasses the fear of a potential shark encounter. For context, around 300,000 people lose their lives from drowning each year worldwide. For shark attacks? A mere seven.

    Since they are coming in at different angles, means it's not as dangerous (not to be confused with being "safe"). Rouge waves occur when multiple waves that are traveling the same direction but at different speeds "merge" together. Took them until like 15 years ago to prove this is the (main) cause of rouge waves.

    Despite the meager numbers of annual shark attack fatalities, they’ve struck fear in people. According to a poll by global market research company Ipsos, 51% of Americans are “absolutely terrified” of them, while 38% won’t swim in the ocean out of such fear. 

    Experts believe that humans aren’t innately scared of sharks. According to psychologist Gabriella Hancock, media and Hollywood portrayals of the ocean’s apex predator are to blame. 

    "What we find is that especially with popular media, it influences people's attitudes and perceptions such that it exaggerates the danger these animals pose," she told CBS in a 2022 interview.

    All the bad rap aside, sharks play a key role in keeping the marine ecosystem balanced. As environmental social scientist Dr. Brianna Le Busque explains, these animals have kept ocean habitats intact for the last 400 million years. 

    However, negative press makes people less likely to support shark conservation efforts, particularly those of species at risk of extinction. This is a cause for concern for Dr. Le Busque, who urges the reframing of how humans view sharks.

    “We need to reduce the perception of risk sharks pose to better reflect reality,” she stated. Most shark species are not known to harm humans."

    i served on the carrier u.s.s. nimitz, 87-91. the flight deck is 100 ft from the water. once, on the way to pearl harbor, we caught the tail end of a hurricane. we hit a wave trough at just the right moment so that the wave just barely washed over the bow of our flight deck. that was AWESOME!

    From Wikipedia: Lactation proceeds for 19 to 42 months, but calves, rarely, may suckle up to 13 years. Like that of other whales, the s***m whale's milk has a higher fat content than that of terrestrial mammals: about 36% compared to 4% in cow milk. This gives it a consistency similar to cottage cheese, which prevents it from dissolving in the water before the calf can drink it.

    For those non Commonwealth type people, at that time (2007) HMCS meant Her Majesty's Canadian Ship. Obviously now it’s His Majesty’s Canadian Ship

    Cod fisheries are overfished. Also, commercial fishing accounts for more ocean waste than the great garbage patches. ….check out Ocean Conservation Namibia to see them cut fishing gear off seals. Think about it: only seals haul out: whales, et al do not, consequently outcomes are not good. Avoid commercially harvested fish where possible

    "The black swallower feeds on bony fish and cephalopods, which are swallowed whole. With its greatly distensible stomach, it is capable of swallowing prey over twice its length and 10 times its mass.[7] Its upper jaws are articulated with the skull at the front via the suspensorium, which allows the jaws to swing down and encompass objects larger than the swallower's head. Theodore Gill speculated that the swallower seizes prey fish by the tail, and then "walks" its jaws over the prey until it is fully coiled inside the stomach." ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swallower
