The Silky Shark

Part of the Voices from the Ocean series commissioned by Gallifrey Foundation and Mission Blue. And with many thanks to Dr Iris Ziegler.

HOW TO RESPECT and PROTECT SILKY SHARKS

Silky Sharks are not interested in attacking humans. They play an important role in the marine ecosystem, particularly the coral reef. As top predators, silky sharks maintain the predatory species below them in the food chain, which in turn protects the species diversity of ocean herbivores. Do your best to understand them better and protect them from being fished out of the ocean just for fin soup.
