Sharks are some of the most fascinating and misunderstood animals in the ocean. They help to keep balance in ocean ecosystems. Sharks are not a threat to people – we’re better off with heathy shark populations than we are without them. This talk with Dr. David Shiffman, AKA @WhySharksMatter, will also discuss Canadian sharks and shark conservation issues. Included with museum admission or membership
