Hot off the presses:
In the midst of mounting scientific evidence that global shark populations are in trouble, Oceana is releasing a new report today that finds sharks invaluable to maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems. Predators as Prey: Why Healthy Oceans Need Sharks* shows that as sharks populations decline, the oceans suffer unpredicatable and devastating consequences.
Many shark species play roles as apex predators of the sea and are a necessary component to maintaining a complex ecosystem full of diversity and life. As top predators, sharks affect other animals in a cascading effect throughout the entire ecosystem, ultimately influencing community structures. Predators as Prey gives a glimpse of what the oceans might look like without sharks.
*I haven't had much luck with links lately, so apologies if it doesn't work.
