Summary: The Importance Of Sharks

Sharks play a big role in balancing out marine life. They eat very efficiently they eat old, young, sick and slow fish. They set the marine life to the right size to fit the ecosystem. Scientist consider sharks as the “keystone” species. If the sharks aren’t there then the ecosystem would collapse. The ecosystem depends on them, without sharks the population would be over crowded. If the oceans were of crowded then there would be no room for any sea animal and everything would just collapse. We need sharks to help everything survive. Predator sharks eat the sick and the weak of the population. On the sea floor creatures look for dead carcasses to feed on. The sharks prevent the spread of disease by eating the sick ones. Sharks also help the reefs stay healthy. They help out the ecosystem by keeping the population at the right size and not too big too small. Sharks don’t know it, of course, but they do all these things. We need them to keep out ecosystems healthy and organized.

Sharks keep a balance, they eat the sick, the weak, the young, and the old. They are of a huge importance in the world’s oceans. ‘Sharks maintain the seagrass and the coral reef inhabitants (second paragraph on oceana.org).’ They are the top of the food chain in the ocean. Study has been shown that if you
They keep the balance of the ecosystem. I learned a lot out of doing this essay, and I’m so glad we have sharks. Sharks are very important animals and I hope they don’t go extinct in the future. We, as humans, need them to be here to help us live and not come to our possible doom. Sharks harm us sometimes, sure, but that’s only them trying to survive and us being in the way of that. Hopefully they will be here for a long time, we still need to find out their mysterious ways and we need them to be alive to do that. We need sharks so we don’t
