Monsters of the Sea?

People have always been afraid of sharks. Films like «Jaws» have shown them as monsters. But now these animals are in danger, like many others.

In recent years, shark meat has become a popular food in America. Too much fishing has begun to reduce the numbers of some kinds of shark. Some people say this is a good thing. Sharks kill about twenty-five people a year near the world's beaches. Are we going to help sharks, or are they going to become extinct?

It's hard to solve the sharks' «image» problem and change people's minds about them. Sharks are hunters and so they naturally kill. But actually elephants kill more people than sharks every year- and everуone likes elephants!

Sharks are very important for the world's oceans. They eat unhealthy fish and keep the numbers of different kinds of sea animals in balance. Now scientists are trying to find ways to protect these animals. They have been in the oceans for 350 million years. Perhaps they can survive a little longer.
