Guardians of our oceans, they manage every creature that lives in the ocean today…..keeping coral reefs safe, and plants from being overgrazed by sea life. Sharks protect our oceans. We need sharks for ocean health. Oceans give us 60% of our oxygen, absorb carbon that causes global warming, absorbs our excess heat and feed a billion of us humans…and to top it off, they make millions in shark tourism. Yet, we kill up to 150 Million of them every year. We all can be heroes and make the world a better place. Save the Sharks.

Watch filmmaker Rob Stewart explain why we need sharks as a keystone species and how you can help.


I met my first shark when I was 9.
And the second it made eye contact with me, it freaked out.
That whole experience removed all the fear I had.
