About this Quiz

Sharks play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our oceans. As apex predators, they help to regulate the populations of other marine species, preventing any one species from becoming too dominant and disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. However, sharks are facing numerous threats, the most significant of which is overfishing. Sharks are often caught as bycatch when fishing for other species, but they are also targeted for their fins, which are used in shark fin soup, a delicacy in some cultures. This practice, known as shark finning, is particularly devastating as it often involves removing the fins and discarding the rest of the shark back into the ocean, where it is unable to survive. In addition to overfishing, sharks are also threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, which can alter their habitats and food sources. Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to conserve shark populations. These include establishing shark sanctuaries, implementing sustainable fishing practices, and regulating international trade in endangered species. Education and public awareness are also crucial for changing perceptions about sharks and garnering support for their conservation.
