Shark Conservation Campaign


Replacing Myths with Scientific Knowledge

Sharks have roamed our oceans since before the time of dinosaurs, but their long reign at the top of the ocean food chain is now severely threatened. Coastal development, commercial bycatch, habitat destruction, massive overfishing created by the shark fin trade, and poor public awareness of their role in ocean ecosystems are pushing many shark species toward extinction. Particularly disturbing is the lack of information on how marine ecosystems will be impacted by the drastic declines in shark populations.
