Why is shark protection or marine conservation important to you?

Sharks are wonderful and elegant animals that fulfil a very special function in the sea. As top predators, they are enormously important, but at the same time very vulnerable to human impact. Especially for divers, it is immediately obvious how fragile the marine ecosystem is. Preserving it is essential for us humans.

It is important to me that as many people as possible - especially children and young people - know about the imminent extinction of sharks so that we can stop the trend with the masses.

Do you have any special skills, experiences or adventures?
