Splash Biography

Over half of all life on earth is found under the ocean surface. In fact, oceans themselves contain 99% of the living space on the planet and we have explored less than 10% of that space! Yet, we are destroying these beautiful spaces by overfishing, using the ocean as our own garbage dump, and polluting it with toxic chemicals. While the majority of us fear shark attacks, not many people know just how bad we are for them. Sharks bite roughly 70 people each year worldwide, with perhaps 6-10 fatalities, according to data compiled in the International Shark Attack File (ISAF). On the flip side, we kill somewhere between 20-100 million sharks every year through fishing activities! Do you like fish or sea life – turtles, manta rays, sharks, whales? Do you want to find out more about the health of our ocean? More importantly, do you want to learn what to do about it? Come learn about the issues so you can be part of the change!
