Predators as Prey


Oceana has released a new report on sharks, their importance to our environment and the devastating consequences that we are causing by the killing of 100 million sharks per year.

“Humans represent the greatest threat facing sharks today,” said Elizabeth Griffin, marine wildlife scientist at Oceana. “Without proper management and increased enforcement, some shark species are likely to go extinct.”

Oceana


Be sure to take a look at Oceana when you have a chance. The organization has a section dedicated to sharks and a very complete report on the global threat to sharks (PDF 4.7MB).
