Ocean Guardians—Learn About Sharks and How You Can Protect Them

Sharks are often misunderstood, feared, and underappreciated. This interactive program aims to engage children in understanding the critical role sharks play in maintaining the health of oceans through exploring shark anatomy and their importance as apex predators. We will discuss the threats they face and provide steps that kids can take to protect sharks. Our objectives are to teach children why sharks are vital to ocean ecosystems, demonstrate how sharks' unique anatomy helps them thrive, and educate them about the alarming shark populations statistics, and inspire young people to become advocates for shark conservation.
