  • Endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh, 55, completed a 62-mile multi-day swim circling Martha's Vineyard after spending 12 days in 47-degree water, finishing on Monday.
  • Pugh undertook the swim to raise awareness about sharks as the film Jaws approaches its 50-year milestone and its portrayal of sharks as antagonists.
  • Pugh, with a nearly 40-year career including swims across all oceans and the North Pole, expected challenges from cold water, distance, weather, and shark migration season.
  • He completed the last 1.2 miles near Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse, near the Jaws filming site, and called shark decimation an ecocide requiring urgent policy action.
  • Pugh plans to do interviews in New York to promote shark conservation before returning to Plymouth, England, emphasizing shifts in public perceptions and protections.
