Peter Benchley was an American author, screenwriter, and ocean activist. He is known for the bestselling novel "Jaws" and co-wrote the film adaptation with Carl Gottlieb. Several more of his works were also adapted for cinema, including "The Deep", "The Island", "Beast" and "White Shark". Later in life, Benchley came to regret writing such sensationalist literature about sharks, which he felt encouraged excessive fear and unnecessary culls of such an important predator in ocean ecosystems and became an outspoken advocate for marine conservation.
