Environmental issues
As with any top predator, sharks are vital to the flow of the ecosystem they live in. Unfortunately, shark finning is starting to take a toll on their population, thus affecting not only the sharks but all the other species sharks interact with as well. Sharks have been in the ocean for more than 400 million years, which means they were around 100 million years before dinosaurs! But now humans are starting to put this unique species of fish in danger of going extinct.
