Save Our Sharks

Many people fear sharks, particularly sharks like the Great White Shark, Tiger Shark and Bull Shark.  While some of the sharks encountered on the reef can be dangerous, they are a fascinating and important part of the reef ecosystem.

Sharks play a pivotal role in the reef's ecosystem.  As a top predator they remove the sick, the injured and the old, and help keep animal populations in check.  For millions of years, sharks have been on the top of the food chain, but this is now changing due to humans.  The removal of millions of tonnes of sharks each year is upsetting the balance in some parts of the ocean.  Take on and complete the challenges offered throughout the "Save Our Sharks" webquest to learn more about these fascinating creatures.
