Threats to Orcas & Sharks:
🦠 Pollution: Contaminants in the water harm their health.
🎣 Overfishing: Depletes their food sources.
🌡️ Climate Change: Alters their habitats and migration patterns.
🌊 Habitat Destruction: Destroys crucial breeding and feeding grounds.
💔 Bycatch & Hunting: Many are accidentally caught or targeted.

Conserving marine life is essential for a healthy planet. By protecting Orcas and Sharks, we safeguard entire ecosystems. 🌏

🦈 Shark Week may be ending, but the need for conservation work continues! Over 500 species of Sharks inhabit the world’s oceans from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea. Every day, they face threats including:

🎣 Overfishing: Sharks are often targeted for their fins, meat, liver oil, and cartilage. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing practices and the Shark fin trade are major threats to Shark populations.

🪸Habitat Loss: Coastal development, pollution, and climate change are damaging and destroying vital shark habitats crucial for breeding, feeding, and nursery grounds for many Shark species.

⚓️ Bycatch: Many sharks are unintentionally caught in fishing gear intended for other species. This results in significant Shark mortality and affects their populations.
