Who doesn't know the classic movie
"Jaws" ?! A movie that drove people hysterical,
caused nightmares and manifested the one and only picture
of sharks - the evil, the man-eating monster of the sea...
But facts proof this picture wrong: Each year
there are between 70 and 100 accidents, with 5 to 7 fatalities.
The risk of being involved in a shark accident is 1/300 Million.
The number of people being struck dead by coconuts is 20 times
more likely.
The shark: a powerful body, a face without expression,
large jaws with huge teeth, a dark and unfriendly environment,
subject to headlines, horror news and sensation seeking movies.
There is no surprise that the general people's attitude did
not change by painting a picture of horror and terror. So
why protect an animal that is a threat for people?
But it is the other way around - sharks have
to fear people.
SharkProject is aiming to change this wrongful and sensationalistic
picture. Through information, education and research.
Only through understanding can protection be successful. And
sharks need this understanding before it's too late.
