SharkFest presented by National Geographic
Sharks are important indicators of ocean health because they are apex predators, and the ocean is our planet’s life support system. It covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, provides more than half of its oxygen, and is home to an incredible diversity of life. Despite this, only 7% of the ocean is currently protected in some way. National Geographic has a long history of investigating ocean mysteries, preserving marine ecosystems and wildlife, and increasing the number of marine sanctuaries around the world.
