Sharks are probably the most misunderstood creatures on this planet.
 
Feared by most, these creatures lack the much needed lobby to stop their on-going slaughtering.  The killing of sharks is one of the biggest ecological time bombs just waiting to explode.

A bomb that will go off if not defused in time. Sharks have been around for over 400 million years, making them one of the most successful creatures in the animal kingdom with humans as the only true threat for their very existence.

It is estimated that over 150 million sharks are killed each year because of their fins, as by-catch or through “sport” fishing.

The protection of sharks is crucial for the balance of the oceans, earth’s main producer of oxygen. An important step towards protection is the elimination of the unsubstantiated fear of sharks and the myth surrounding them.

It is human's nature to only protect what is loved, and not what is feared. However, this irrational fear of sharks needs to be eliminated and all the erroneous information erased.

One way for a better understanding is the active interaction with sharks and spreading the word that there is no such thing as a dangerous shark - just dangerous situations, created by humans, knowingly, unknowingly or by third parties.
