An estimated 80% of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface.

Sharks have been around longer than trees!

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth; it can be
           seen from space.

You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than being killed
           by a shark.

The oceans contain 99% of the living space on the planet.

A whale shark’s skin is around 10cm thick, making it the thickest
           skin in the world.

	Shark finning is the removal of shark fins. The poachers then discard the remaining (still alive) carcass back into the water.
	Without fins, the shark is unable to swim. It sinks to the ocean floor where it either drowns or is eaten alive by other fish.
	All types of shark are killed for their fins, regardless of age, size or species.
	An estimated 100 million sharks are killed annually for their fins.
	Shark Finning depletes shark populations around the world faster than they can reproduce, leading to endangerment and extinction.
