She sees herself simply as an individual taking action in defense of something she loves that’s in need of protection. Despite her youth, the 24-year-old is an undersea veteran (老手). She grew up sailing around the Great Barrier Reef on her parents’ boat and spent her early life free diving while patiently waiting for the day when she could get her scuba diving (水肺潜水) certification, aged 12. Already impressed by sharks, Madison was now pleased to be able to observe them in their own world. “I got to know the sharks…I could recognize them by sight,” Madison says. “Other people had dogs around them growing up. I had sharks.” But within a couple of years, she saw a great reduction in shark numbers on the reef. “One day I went in the water and couldn’t find my sharks anywhere, sharks I’d spent my childhood with,” she says. “They’d been caught and killed.” It was a critical moment for Madison. She left school at 14 to be homeschooled so she could spend more time in the ocean. She taught herself to shoot underwater video to document sharks in their own world and share her sense of wonder with others. She launched an online channel and built huge following for her documentaries where she focuses on issues like inadequate protection for some shark species and the global shark fin (鳍) industry. In 2014, Madison was the subject of the encouraging documentary Shark Girl, which introduced her to a global audience. In 2017, she appeared as an “Ocean Guardian” in the documentary Blue that explored a lot of threats to the world’s marine environments, including the damaging effect of the global shark fishery. The film that encourages viewers to get involved and the individual to make a difference by their own direct action would never be underestimated. 21．What did Madison do before getting her scuba diving certification A．She went boating alone.
