"We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory, it's theirs."
Without sharks, you take away the apex predator of the ocean, and you destroy the entire food chain."
Peter Benchley, Author of Jaws
"Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don't see sharks."
Sylvia Earle, American Oceanographer
"The shark is the apex predator in the sea. Sharks have molded evolution for 450 million years. All fish species that are prey to the sharks have had their behavior, their speed, their camouflage, their defense mechanisms molded by the shark."
Paul Watson, Canadian Environment Activist
"Without sharks, there will be no ocean. And with no ocean, there is no planet Earth and no us."
Jeremy Perdue, CEO & Founder of NC Shark Savers
