For 400 million years the shark has been able to survive. However, man is a predator that will make them extinct unless other leaders follow your lead and provide the protection this great animal needs today.
Thank Your!!!

Please continue to work toward stopping the slaughter of sharks for their fins. I have seen boats with fins hanging from their mast ropes, and it is a horrible sight for a diver to witness.

Thank you so very much for the National Shark Sanctuary! Although they are not cuddly (well, maybe - I do think they are cute) sharks are an important part of the ecosystem. I once lived in Hawaii, and the mythos and facts of the shark was instilled in me.
Thank you!!!
