Jul 13, 2020 · Sharks and rays are crucial for the health of our planet, but they are some of the most enigmatic and misunderstood creatures in the ocean. Here are five ways in which sharks and rays help the world, from fighting climate change to digging through sand for their neighbors to feeding phytoplankton.

Sharks are important indicators of ocean health and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ocean food chain. The decline of shark populations due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change is a major threat to the health of the ocean and the planet as a whole.

Sharks rely heavily on their sense of smell to communicate, primarily through the release and detection of chemical signals, such as pheromones. These chemical messengers play an essential role in intraspecies communication, particularly during mating and foraging.

Examples of shark adaptations are a large gill surface, good eyesight, and not having bones. All these adaptations happened to help the shark become one of the most terrifying hunters in the sea.
