Jaws author Peter Benchley dies

In his later films, John Ford tried to do some justice to the indians whom he described as faceless, idiotic barbarians that just waited to get hit by clever and brave cavallery-heroes in his early films. Has Benchles done anything comparable for sharks? I like the movie Jaws 1 + 2, I like the atmosphere in it, the village life it painted, and Roy Scheider (I like to see him in films), but I am also aware that it did quite some damage to the reputation of sharks. And I do not want to know how many sharks got slaughtered due to hysteria caused by this movie.
