In class, we were learning about human population growth and its impact on Earth’s natural resources.  I decided to inquire about sharks.  I learned that we have basically lost approximately half of our ocean’s sharks in the last 15 years.  I do know that about 100 million sharks are killed per year just for their fins.  Selling shark fins is a huge business and it still goes on even when it is illegal in many countries.  I promise to never eat shark fin soup and I want to educate the people around me to understand that sharks are important to our ocean’s ecosystems.  More efforts need to be taken to save the sharks.  Below you can see my visual representation:

 

Also, I’d like to include this video that teaches people about sharks and why they are so important to our oceans’ ecosystems.
