Why Sharks Matter!

with David Shiffman, oceanographer

Why we should care about what happens to sharks.

Sharks are some of the most misunderstood, most ecologically important, and most threatened animals in the world. Join Montgomery County resident and marine biologist Dr. David Shiffman to learn all about these incredible animals, the threats they face, and how you can help save the ocean. Q&A will follow his presentation, and he will have copies of his book Why Sharks Matter for sale.
