For One Night Only: SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium hosts an evening of Shark Discovery

Whether you love them, fear them or are intrigued by them, you can’t deny that sharks are majestic animals. They have roamed the world’s oceans for hundreds of millions of years, appearing in the fossil record before trees even existed and they’ve outlived dinosaurs! As apex predators, sharks play an important role in the ecosystem by maintaining the species below them in the food chain and serving as an indicator for ocean health. Sharks keep the balance with competitors which helps ensure species diversity.

Sadly, many species of sharks are threatened with extinction and some families of rays such as the Sawfish are in peril.

For one night only on Wednesday 26th February, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium together with Barbara Wueringer, founder, director and lead scientist of Sharks And Rays Australia (SARA), Emmy nominated underwater cinematographer, Jon Shaw and Associate Professor and Shark Expert, Adam Stow will host an evening of Shark Discovery.
