I’m seeing lots of fishermen complain that there’s “more sharks than ever,” so I made a quick guide to what things look like if you zoom out a little.

To be clear, when fishermen say “I’ve been fishing for 20 years and I’ve never seen so many sharks,” that’s a factually accurate statement! Just an incomplete one. This is an example of “shifting baselines,” how much things have changed depends on when you start counting.
