Sharks Under Threat
Sharks are widely feared and misunderstood, but they play a vital role in keeping our oceans healthy. Shark Week sheds light on these fascinating creatures and their critical role in marine ecosystems.
Sharks are threatened by over fishing and habitat damage. AZA-accredited aquariums are working to protect sharks from further declines and are great places to see and learn about sharks.
Visit an AZA-accredited aquarium near you to get an up-close look at many different shark species. Tune in to Discovery Channel to watch shows about sharks all week long.
