Semporna Shark Sanctuary

Sharks has been feared by all since the Jaws movie era.  Their sharp razor teeth tearing human flesh is the most terrifying scene ever! So much of Hollywood movie exploitation.

Sharks has a timid manner and easily frighten by humans.  Being said, they are regarded as potentially dangerous when they are being provoked or threathen.  Many sharks in Malaysia are reef sharks for example White Tip, Black Tip or Borneo Shark.  They consume sea creatures for example small fishes, crustaceans and sometimes seabirds.


However, they are nearly to extinction due to overfishing.  So, a Shark Sanctuary was built to ensure sharks can be protected.  Semporna Shark Sanctuary, an organization responsible to create awareness on this beautiful creature.  They have been to many schools, government agencies, NGOs to promote and get support for their good cause.  They are the first Shark Sanctuary in South East Asia.

Lets join them to create awareness for sharks, mantas and all underwater friends!
