Shark Week Resource Guide: Facts vs Fiction 

We love sharks and with so many people thinking about sharks over the summer (and during Shark Week!) we wanted to make sure you have all the resources needed to learn more about how dangerous they might be to humans and what help they need to maintain healthy populations.

Sharks play a vital role in the health of our ocean, but in some parts of the world, many shark species are in decline. By contrast, many shark species in U.S. waters are doing well thanks to the efforts of NOAA and fishermen. Learn about the conservation success in the U.S. and why sharks are in trouble elsewhere—and what you can do to help!
