While most are aware of the plight of charismatic creatures, like dolphins and whales, few know, often blinded by misguided fears, of the shark’s current fate. Sharks are disappearing at an alarming rate – their numbers down by 90% in some regions – with many species facing extinction during our lifetime. Over 73,000,000 sharks will be killed this year. That’s over 11,000 every hour.
Recent studies are already indicating that regional elimination of sharks can cause disastrous effects including the collapse of fisheries and the death of coral reefs.
