It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence.

Ryan Rossi – Menemsha Harbormaster
Meet Ryan Rossi. Ryan is the Menemsha Harbormaster. Menemsha is an historic fishing village in the town of Chilmark on Martha’s Vineyard.
Ryan gives us all the crucial information you need to know as a recreational boater interested in visiting the port. He explains how to go about reserving your spot - don’t just show up - and the feeding frenzy that takes place at the beginning of May when they open reservations.
He also suggests a certain level of proficiency required in handling your vessel before attempting to dock there, and why that’s important.
Ryan grew up in Chilmark and was always on and around the water for both recreation and work. Following school, he had a ten-year career in the US Coast Guard. In a fortunate set of circumstances, Ryan wound up stationed back in his hometown at Coast Guard Station Menemsha. It was while he was there when he learned the local Harbormaster was considering retirement. That began a transition which led him to his current position.
This episode is packed with good information about a very unique harbor.
