No fins, no future. The ocean has always been a source of life, food, energy, and the air we breathe. It relies on a delicate system of balance. Because sharks are apex predators, they keep that whole system in check. Sharks have been living on this planet for 450 million years, and over the past 15 years, global shark populations have decreased by 90%, with an estimated 100 million sharks being killed per year. You can help save sharks by: -Refraining from consuming shark fins and meat. -Not purchasing shark cartilage, liver oil (squalene), skin, teeth, or jaws. Fossilized teeth are ok! -Avoiding pet food that list 'white fish' as an ingredient as it likely is shark. -Supporting responsible shark tourism operations and experience the animals in their natural habitat. -Check out more educational resources at @SharkEducation!
