1. Where did all the sharks go?

2. They lost all their fins  People now a days want cool shark fins so people are killing sharks to take their fins

3. The sharks are not having babies fast enough!! Oh no! The sharks are being overfished before they have a chance to reproduce so there are no more sharks to carry on the family!

4. So much pollution!!! A bunch of gross runoff is going into the water making it hard for the poor sharks to breathe!

5. The sharks homes are being destroyed for humans houses! The sharks have homes for their babies to grow up and they are getting destroyed by humans trying to build homes on the water

6. Global warming is making the water warmer which is fun to swim in but not for sharks! The water is too warm for them and their food so they are having a tough time finding dinner!

7. Now that there’s no more sharks what happens now?

8. Now that there is no more sharks there is more cownosed rays ! But the more cownosed rays, the less shellfish  No more shellfish means a lot of stuff in the water that we can’t eat!

9. What would happen if the sharks came back?

10. If the sharks were to come back that would mean cleaner water!!!

11. With more sharks there would be less cownosed rays which would mean more shellfish which would mean more phytoplankton! Phytoplankton help eat the yucky stuff so we would have cleaner water!!!

12. Save the Sharks!!!!!!!!
