Hollywood Sharks

Maybe you have been sweeping up with worldwide news or movie story. Numerous shark incidents have recorded in some country . More great-white tip sharks have been spotted off to California Coast. I assume some of you now, think population of shark now are on the rise and prowling for human-flesh.

Their Plight and Importance

But in reality is on contrary. While global population of human has risen up exponentially but the human-shark incidents remained the same. Sharks are incredible, an apex predator (which means no one could kill them almost) and their teeth shed approximately 35,000 teeth in lifetime, replacing those that fall out continually. But they are not our enemies, the truth is they have more reason to fear us. Humans kill nearly 100,000 million sharks every year – or equal 11,000 sharks per hour.

The worldwide demand for shark-fin soup and shark-tooth medallion leave them persecuted and endangered, with millions of them being killed each year.

Sharks are so much more than the flesh-hungry monsters Hollywood have made them out to be. They are critical to make our ocean healthy. Sharks remove over populated smaller fish and creatures in the lower food chain. This means the fish will not be invasive to coral reef and sea grass (their main food supplies). Sharks are very significant to provide ecosystem services, securing our food supply and the resilience of the entire system. AHMAD ARDIANSYAH
