Most sharks species will drown if they stop moving. Great white, mako and salmon sharks don’t have the muscles they need to pump water through their mouth and over their gills. As long as they keep swimming, water keeps moving over their gills, keeping them alive

Overfishing can have a dangerous effect on sharks. The whale shark, for example reached maturity at the age of 30 before they start reproducing! Unfortunately many sharks are caught at such a large scale and so often, many sharks don’t reach maturity to help repopulate their number

Even though shark attacks and fatalities are rare, the general media play a huge role in creating negative, gripping and horror-like headlines for their media outlets. Unfortunately this is fueling the fear of sharks with the public. Often the words ‘Deadly’ ‘Man eating’ ‘Monster’ ‘Predator’ are used which most people respond to negatively.
 
A common myth is that sharks don’t attack in the middle of the day. And that may be true — but it’s likely because most beachgoers get out of the water to rest or eat at lunchtime, so there aren’t as many people around to cross paths with sharks. Sharks don’t follow the same three meals-a-day eating schedule as humans, they eat when they find food, no matter what time it is
 
Surfers are more likely to die from drowning than from a shark attack, but it is true that great whites can be confused and intrigued by the shape of a surfboard. From beneath the surface, a great white might mistake the board’s outline for that of a seal, walrus or sea lion
 
Sharks may seem like a permanent part of the ocean, but according to the World Conservation Union, 20-30 percent of sharks are close to extinction. The main culprit? Commercial fisheries accidentally catching sharks on their hooks and nets
 
Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island were inspirations for the fictional town of Amity Island in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 thriller Jaws. The movie may have contributed to a decline in beach attendance in the late 1970s, even though great white sharks are said to be uncommon in northeastern waters
 
Most species of shark can be found in open water, allowing them plenty of space to swim and fish to eat. However, the goblin shark lives along outer continental shelves and underwater mountain ranges. Their dwellings are too deep for humans, so we don’t know much about them
