Sharkfest

It's SharkFest month! I'm going to list the most endangered sharks over a few weeks and why they're endangered.

The shark that is number one on the endangered list of sharks, is the Common Thresher Shark.

Why are they the most endangered shark?

The Common Thresher Shark is most endangered because of; habitat loss, overfishing, bycatch, pollution, climate change and much more.

Population and how we can help.

There are three species of thresher sharks. These are the Pelagic Thresher, Common Thresher and Bigeye Thresher. It is unknown how many are left because they are so rarely spotted. The first birth seen on camera of a thresher shark was in 2013. According to Pewtrusts.org, up to 3.9 million thresher sharks are killed each year in commercial fisheries. According to Shark Trust, we can help by educating, supporting, and advocating for worldwide protection!

Thanks for viewing!
