Sharks have been swimming across the Big Blue for well over 400 million years, they have evolved to become the greatest predator in our oceans. Without them - the ecosystem would fail and collapse.
The Great White Shark like all sharks are rapidly declining in number.
This magnificent creature is one of the most misunderstood animals on our planet.
However still seen by many small minded idiots as a mindless killing machine. They have been depicted as nothing more then blood thirsty beasts in many inaccurate movies and because of this -generation upon generation have passed down there baseless fear of these beautiful and misunderstood creatures.
CLOSE TO ALL SHARK SPECIES ARE ENDANGERED
MILLIONS ARE SLAUGHTED EVERYDAY
Sharks are killed for greed as there Jaws, Fins, Skins, Cartilage an Teeth worn by the average looser fetch a insane price on world markets. For example Great White Sharks jaws can fetch upwards of twenty thousand dollars.
SHARKS LIKE ALL ANIMALS MUST BE
ADMIRED, PROTECTED AND RESPECTED
FOR WE SHARE THIS ONE WORLD WITH THEM
The Great White Shark have become so threatened that scientists fear that, without protection, they will slide into extinction.
Through out the world the White Shark has become hunted both by sports fishermen for trophies and commercial fisherman.
Shark populations worldwide are decreasing at alarming rates
THE CAUSES ARE
Shark meshing programs have a significant environmental cost, Killing all that get caught in the net. Including protected and endangered species.
Many sharks drown every year after becoming entangled in nets intended for other species.
OVER FISHING
Shark populations take a long time to recover from overfishing. They grow very slowly and take a long time to reach sexual maturity. 20 years or more in some species. When they do reproduce, they produce very few offspring compared to other food fish species.
Without sharks to help maintain a healthy balance, marine environments are at great risk of permanent damage.
BY-CATCH
Millions of sharks die every year after being caught by means intended to catch other fish, especially on Longlines intended for tuna and swordfish.
In the Mediterranean sea alone, as many as 100,000 sharks die as a result of by-catch every year. While by-catch of other species such as dolphins has declined after highly publicised campaigns to protect them, the undeserved bad reputation of sharks is slowing down efforts to protect them from this wasteful and destructive practice.
SHARK PRODUCTS
A massive industry is developing around the use of shark products for improving human health, despite the lack of good scientific evidence to support it. Oil extracted from the livers of sharks is becoming increasingly popular as a booster for the immune system and even as a way of preventing cancer, thanks to an erroneous belief that sharks don’t suffer from cancerous tumors. Shark cartilage is harvested for the same reason.
SHARK FINNING
Every year as many as 100 million sharks die a slow death due to this torture.
Finning is the inhumane practice involves catching a shark, hacking off its fins and discarding the rest of the animal, which is often thrown back into the sea to die. The shark either starves to death or drown (if they are not in constant movement their gills cannot extract oxygen from the water).
Shark fins are being "harvested" in ever greater numbers to feed the growing demand for shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy".
However some countries, such as USA, have banned shark finning in the last few years but finning is still practiced all over the world in places as far apart as South American and Australia Not only is the finning of sharks barbaric, but their indiscriminate slaughter at an unsustainable rate is pushing many species to the brink of extinction.
Why are Surfers targeted ?
For starters us humans no matter if we on a board or not are not targeted by landlord (great white sharks) at all.
Of the 100-plus annual shark attacks Worldwide, Close to all of these attacks are no fatal. Research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" then releasing their victims rather than preying on humans. It ain't like they have hands people.
Why Sharks mistake Surfers for food?
Check our outline mate 
WE HAVE A MUCH GREATER CHANCE OF GETTING HIT BY A DOLPHIN
