Why is it important to protect sharks?

Sharks are at the top of the marine food chain and are considered ‘keystone’ species in the marine environment, meaning that removing them will cause the whole structure to collapse.

As apex predators, sharks keep the populations of commercial and non-commercial fish in check and healthy by eating old, sick or slower fish. This in turn paves the way for only healthier and stronger fish to remain and to reproduce in larger numbers, keeping the marine ecosystem stable.
