The shark is a top predator in the marine food chain.
Sharks play a fundamental role in controlling the abundance and distribution of all trophic levels in the marine web. These predators eliminate weak and sick individuals, contributing to the overall health of the oceans and controlling the spread of diseases.
It is surprising to note that, despite common perception, only 8-10 people worldwide lose their lives each year due to shark attacks. In contrast, humans, with an average of about 100 million sharks killed annually, emerge as the true “monsters” of the sea.
These statistics highlight the urgent need to reconsider our impact on the oceans and reflect on our responsibility to preserve the vitality of these important creatures.
“In Safe Waters” invites reflection on coexistence and the need to protect sharks, essential guardians of ocean health.
