The Shark Whisperer - narrated by Floreana

Donald Nelson, the unflappable biologist, spear fisherman, and shark fanatic who inspired Richard Dreyfuss’ frenetic marine biologist in Jaws, was a lot more mellow than his on-screen counterpart. His friends describe him as completely at home in the ocean, according to Katharine Gammon’s story “The Shark Whisperer.” “Mellow” and “at home in the ocean” also describes the music of the beachy album Floreana One, from the artist Floreana (named by founder Victoria Mordoch after the Galapagos island). That’s why Mordoch was the perfect choice to read Katharine Gammon’s story about Nelson. Sit back, relax, and let Mordoch take you on a journey through Nelson’s fascinating life.
