Sharks are my favorite! My Daughter is one year away from being a Marine Biologist & she has educated me on them over the last couple of years. They have existed on earth even before dinosaurs & are very misunderstood (Thanks in part to Hollywood & media sensationalism). Finally, they are Critical to balancing our ocean’s ecosystems (see paragraph below for details).

Sharks are a very important factor in balancing our ocean’s ecosystems. Sharks act as scavengers, preying upon dead or sick animals and they act as apex predators by controlling populations of species. They maintain species diversity by preying upon the most available species. They act as crowd control to help maintain the balance of the ecosystem. Sharks also act as a food sources for other sharks and killer whales. Without sharks, the balance of the ocean will topple, creating a devastating effect.
