Remember the movie jaws and the signature tune that accompanied the visual of the fast moving dorsal fin that would disappear every time a swimmer was turned into lunch?
in actual fact,it is sharks,like every other spices,which are under threat from humans and not the other way around.A search on google with words "shark attacks"returned 763,000 hits whereas the search words "shark extinction"revealed 963,000 hits.This is rough stasticts is an indicator that the extinction of the species is generating more concern than its mythical viciousness,finally.
There is also the question oh how and why shark attacks occur and weather sometimes they might be foolishly provoked.sometime in April 2008,66 year old David martin was swimming off the coasts of San Diego.California when 16-foot great white shark attacked and killed him.he was wearing a shiny suit and the shark mistook him for a seal.The entire stretch of beach was closed signs were posted regular intervals warning people stay out of water.
The shark population which was first record 200 years ago,has come down in the Mediterranean by 97 percent.out of the 21 major species of open -water sharks in the world,all but two are facing extinction.Sharks are a critical part of the marine food chain and to slaughter them.endangers the one simple thing you can do to save these magnificent creatures.Never order shark fin soup and always object to the restaurant management for having it on the menu.
