In the years before his death, Benchley became an advocate for sharks. He lectured on marine conservation and even traveled the world to make documentaries that featured him swimming with sharks and whales alike.

That was the really prominent thing: that sharks were scary," the article read. "... Some people just think, 'Why bother conserving sharks if they can harm us.' But what it also does is it makes people more likely to want potentially lethal mitigation techniques.
