The Shark Research Institute works to correct misperceptions about sharks and stop the slaughter of 100 million sharks annually. A primary conservation strategy of SRI is creating value for sharks as sustainable natural resources for tourism industries, particularly in developing countries. By so doing, a steady revenue stream is also generated for local fishers that might otherwise slaughter the sharks for immediate gain. Current programs involve visual and satellite tracking, behavioral and DNA studies of sharks, ocean advocacy, publications and public education. Membership is open to all who share our goals including the scientific community, individuals and organizations concerned about the health of the ocean ecosystem and marine resource users: subsistence fishermen, sport divers, governments, corporations and the tourism industry.

They have evolved from placoderms, a group of primitive jawed fishes. The average lifespan is 20-25 years, but some, like the dogfish shark can live up to 100 years. They eat plankton, carrion, seals, and/or marine mammals and most (over 75%) of the 345+ species, are not even CAPABLE of the act and/or rarely encounter humans. Like most large hunters, sharks are slow growing, reach maturity late, and have only a few offspring. Their large young are usually live-born. Unlike most other fish, which can lay thousands of tiny eggs, they produce too few young to compensate for destruction on such a massive scale and their population is greatly depleting. Some species are even considered endangered. In December of 1997, Australia declared endangered the Great White Shark and the Grey Nurse Shark. If the slaughter continues unchecked there is no doubt that we'll lose some species altogether, and others will be reduced to near extinction levels within a few decades. On of the misconceptions when dealing with sharks is that they have poor vision. As a matter of fact, its eye is constructed to distinguish colors and is seven times as powerful as a human's. Their corneas have even been used as transplants for human corneas. Next, they do not have to continually move to survive. Some do have to continually move but there are species that do not. Another big myth is that there are no fresh water species, but there ARE. For example the

Easier - Most people think of a shark as being a large, ferocious fish that has sharp teeth and feeds on meat. But in truth a shark can be one of over 370 different types and range in size from the whale shark, the largest of all fish that measure up to forty feet long, to the smallest shark, the spined pygmy shark that only grow to a length of about six inches. Harder - Sharks are found in all types of oceans including the arctic, but most are found in warm seas. Some prefer the spacious ocean depths, others are found in coastal waters, a few enter rivers and lakes that empty into the sea, and one species found in India and Pakistan lives only in freshwater rivers. Sharks are different from most other kinds of fish. They have a unique boneless skeleton that is composed of tough, elastic cartilage. Most sharks have a rounded tough-skinned, streamlined shaped body, somewhat like a torpedo. This helps them to swim. Unlike most fish, sharks do not have a swim bladder. Instead their oversized liver is filled with an oil that is lighter-weight than water. This also aids their swimming ability. Even so, most sharks must constantly swim or their body would sink.
