WELCOME TO THE DAILY JAWS

Since 2015, our mission has been to celebrate the phenomenon, history, legacy and raft of JAWS. By working closely with the fillmmakers, we keep fans updated with the latest news reviews and events. Partnering with leading shark experts, we also educate people about sharks and the threats facing them.

We are a fan site that relies on product sales, donations and advertising revenue to cover the costs associated with keeping the JAWS legacy alive.
