ALMANAC Newsmaker Challenge – SAVE OUR SHARKS!
Fast, fierce, and fascinating! Sharks are top predators in the ocean and a vital part of its ecosystem. But some species are endangered. That’s why this year’s challenge, led by National Geographic explorer and marine conservationist Jessica Cramp, is all about saving sharks. The first step is for kids to get smart about sharks. Because the more we know – and care – about sharks, the better we can protect them.

I would say a Hammerhead.

Her favorite is the Great White Shark.

I would have to say None. It’s sad, but the first beach trip we had, there were several small sharks and then one morning, a fisherman caught a shark. Needless to say, they have vivid memories of that trip, and they are very afraid of sharks now. :/ We’ll start on a campaign of re-informing before our next beach trip…
