WHY SHARKS ARE SO IMPORTANT
People think sharks are scary and often wish they would go away. Many people don't understand the dire consequences that would occur if some of the oceans' top apex predators vanished.
The delicate balance of oceanic life would be disrupted and chaos would reign. Some species would grow unencumbered, while others would find their viability challenged. Humans who rely on certain trades might be unable to make a living because either the tourism or fishing trades would be significantly diminished.
Shark survival is critical for many oceanic species as well as many human livelihoods.
