Why your sighting matters Por qué tu avistamiento importa

Sharks have patrolled our oceans for 450 million years. Today, over a third of all shark species face extinction — largely driven by overfishing, finning, and habitat loss. Understanding where sharks are, and how many, is the foundation of protecting them.
