The Importance of Shark Conservation
Sharks play a vital role in keeping the oceans healthy by maintaining balance in the food web and removing disease. Despite their reputation as violent predators, shark attacks on humans are extremely rare. The fishing industry poses a significant threat to shark populations, killing millions of sharks each year for their fins and other products. Conservation efforts should focus on protecting sharks and promoting alternative industries like dive tourism, which can generate more revenue than shark fishing.
