Predator loss in the ocean is a growing problem in our world today. Sharks are the main loss of predators in the ocean, with a wide verity of species in the ocean Sharks sit at the top of the food chain. They live within the biome of the ocean which has different species living only in certain part of the ocean so the ocean has biomes within its self with shark species with almost all of it. There are many different biomes within the ocean depending on water temperature and the amount of sunlight
A Literal Shark-Hugger Rob Stewart embarked on a mission to expose the clandestine nature of the illegal shark finning industry. He did so through his photography, videography and writing. Stewart made multiple documentaries including Sharkwater and Revolution. Stewart also wrote Sharkwater and Save the Humans. Stewart’s actions of exposing the shark finning industry did not go unnoticed by the public or individuals profiting from the illegal shark finning industry. Stewart was arrested in Costa
the entire paragraph will consist of the writers own ideas. Sharks are born with many gifts to help make it a suc-cessful predator in the deep sea. Sharks attack from under-neath their target and angle their snout above the target so the shark can then tear apart the prey. Unlike most hunters, Sharks teeth are structured in its gums. Sharks may have be-tween four to six rows of teeth for killer accuracy when going in for the kill. Sharks have the ability to regenerate new fully functional teeth like
Today I will be informing you all about the most feared and fiercest predator in the sea. In this speech I will be discussing the evolution, physiology, ecological niche and propose a postulate for the future health and survival of the Great White Shark. The Great White is scientifically known as the Carcharodon carcharias and is considered a carnivorous killing machine. This fish has been around for hundreds of millions of years and its evolution has enabled it to develop extraordinary abilities
is frightened of? Ever since “Jaws” people have viewed Sharks as Ferocious, Dangerous Man-eating monsters out to attack anyone who dares come into the water. The truth is that one-fourth of Shark populations is endangered of going extinct. After over 450 million years on this planet, they have the possibility of extinction due to inadequate laws to protect the creatures from actions such as finning, bycatching, and habitat depletion. Sharks are an essential part of the ocean 's ecosystem and Without
Sympathy for JAWS Sharks are known as one of the deadliest creatures in the aquatic ecosystem, but what would happen in the world’s ocean without those sharks? The depopulation of sharks is increasing dramatically due to human impacts. If this continues, it will negatively impact all aspects of ocean life and environment (Ferretti et al, 2010). The depopulation of a creature so high on the aquatic food chain can lead to the overpopulation of other organisms, which causes a domino effect on all creatures
extinctions. (Ogden et al. 2013: 341) One ancient species considerably at risk in the ‘Anthropocene’ is the Great White Shark. Despite its precarious position and its imminent eradication, the Great White Shark must be respected and understood. In an attempt to reveal the intrinsic value of the oceans’ most important predator, humans must shed conceptions of Great White Sharks as mindless man-eating monsters and instead conceive of them in a new light. Ultimately, a thorough exploration reveals Great
in search for food could be a reason they have roamed the seas for more than 400 million years (Sharks World, 2017). This isn’t an ordinary beta fish that lives in the families fish tank, this is the apex predator of the sea; this is the shark (WildAid, 2017). As humans we hear “shark” and we tend to think of movies like JAWS or feel emotions like fear yet these do not represent them accurately. These fish do the job of regulating the sea an important factor that’s being affected by humans on a
Every year there are thousands and millions of sharks dying in the ocean simply, because of a soup? Not a soup that makes you feel or look any younger, nor does it cure a sickness, but because of a delicacy. Sharks are at a high demand mainly in East Asia. Shark Finning is the removal of the shark’s fins while they are still alive and throwing the rest of its body back in the ocean where it takes a painful death. Seeing that sharks are on top of the ecosystem, their population is also decreasing
Earth! The age of the dinosaur dates back 65 to 230 million years ago. Sea turtles, a prehistoric animal, have been around for 150 million years and are at a life threatening state. Their lives are diminishing at an alarming rate by factors such as predators, diseases, hunting and littering. The only way it can be stopped is to help. The beaches that the baby sea turtles are born on, means a lot to them. In March, baby sea turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. If they survive their journey
