Shark Week 2007 reported that 10 million sharks are
slaughtered
for each human life lost to shark attack.
Dead fish fight back! "Shark
Roulette" one of this year's (2006) Discovery Channel premieres reports Shark Fin
Soup and shark in general can have concentrations of Mercury. Be
careful of what you eat, it may kill you!
Awareness and education regarding
the unknown not only makes us smarter, it makes us less fearful. Sharks have
lived for over 350 million years but very little is known about most of
them. Are there more species (types) that remain undiscovered?
Do Megalodons still exist? They are champions of the seas and help maintaina balance in the endless ecosystems in which they live.
One of our goals at
www.seaprogram.org is
the education of young people. Because we are unable to visit each elementary school
we ask you to take your parents and children to visit an aquarium close to you. Click
on one of the links below to see where your nearest aquarium may be. If you live
outside of the United States please click our International link to see if we've listed an
aquarium near you.
