33 Pictures Of Endangered Shark Species While Scuba Diving. Marine Life Protection Projects.

My name is Daniel Sasse, the owner of Poseidon Dive Center Ao Nang Thailand and an award winning underwater photo and videographer. I have 25 years of experience in scuba diving, teaching and photographing wildlife. Protecting our oceans must be our priority since every second breath we take is produced by our oceans.

Sharks have such a bad reputation due to bad media. But when I photograph them i have a completely different impression! They are gentle and very shy no matter which species. Sharks need PROTECTION!!!

Humans kill 100 Mil. Sharks per year, mostly for their fins.

That’s per second around 3.6 sharks killed and only 0,94 born.

We take them out more than 3 times faster than they can reproduce.

We need the shark it’s a reef cleaner, it eats old and sick fish and due to that only the strong fish survive and can reproduce.

Easy ways to protect Sharks.

1. Buy fish once a week (not 5 times).

2. Eat fish from sustainable resources know where and how it has been caught! https://www.mcsuk.org/goodfishguide/search

4. Turn off the water while soaping under the shower.

5. Turn off lights which are not needed.

6. Leave your car at home and take a walk or a bicycle.

7. Don’t go to the Gym by car and then sit on the bike.
