Sharks play important roles in nature as part of the upper food chain. They maintain balance in marine ecosystems by regulating fish and crustacean populations. In addition, sharks also contribute to the health of the oceans, helping to control the proliferation of invasive species and removing sick and dying animals.
Unfortunately, many shark species are at risk due to overfishing, habitat loss and pollution. Commercial shark fishing is responsible for the deaths of millions of sharks every year, and many species are finding themselves on the endangered species list.
It is important to protect sharks as they play key roles in maintaining the health of the oceans and are also culturally and economically important. Conservation measures, such as regulating shark fishing and protecting habitats, are essential to ensure the survival of species and the balance of marine ecosystems.
The Paraíba Aquarium has large sharks in its structure, come and visit.
