Sharks play a very important role in the oceans in a way that an average fish does not. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in virtually every part of every ocean. In that role, they keep populations of other fish healthy and in proper proportion for their ecosystem.
The oceans are the most important ecosystem on the planet, containing life that absorbs most of the carbon dioxide (global warming gas) that we put into the atmosphere, converting it into 70% of the oxygen we breathe. Destroying shark populations has the potential to destroy our oceans and our life support system.

Sharks are much more valuable alive than in soup! Divers, when choosing a dive destination, rank sharks and mantas as the #1 attraction—ranking even higher than healthy coral reefs or turtles. eparate studies conducted in the Bahamas, South Africa, Palau, Honduras, Belize, Maldives, and Australia show that revenue from shark diving significantly surpasses potential shark fishing revenue.
