Hi, I’m Saorla Byrne
I think what your doing is amazing and has to be shared with the world your work is inspiring others to volunteer which is helping a lot. You even inspired me to refusing any food clothes or other things that includes sharks. People need to give sharks a chance in life and stop with the cruelty

# data[].attributes.body
Did any of you think of a world without sharks?
Well, I have and this is what i think it would be like -
The sea will be OVERPOWERED WITH FISH! (Basically A BUNCH OF FISH) I have come up with a lil funny skit in my brain of the sea overpowered by fish:
Fishes: Bow down to me sea creatures!
A sea creature: *bows* Man, I really wish sharks were still here...
A seal: I still can eat fish
(I think)
Sea creatures: YAY
The end.

Well, there are still animals that eat fish.
There will be so much fish, scuba diving and beaches will be closed because there will be too much fish!
A lot of people will miss the sharks :(

Welp thats it :)
I am a human from ESF (student)

# data[].attributes.body
did you know that once people cut off the shark's fin the shark will sink on to the sea floor and die.

SAVE THE SHARKS, MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Sharks are really important to the world because if sharks died, not much animals will eat the fish so then all the sea is is FISH, FISH, FISH, FISH, FISH, FISH, OTHER STUFF SHARKS EAT, OTHER STUFF SHARKS AND OTHER STUFF SHARKS EAT! +fish
Dont eat shark fin soup
My mom cooked shark fin soup a few years ago and I was like "dude why we eating sharks!? WHY HUMANS EAT SHARKS OMG!!!!?????? Dont murder sharks man" so yeah dont kill sharks, they are really important and if their fins are cut off they will sink to the bottom of the oceans and DIE because they need to move around to survive and they cant really move without their fins so please dont kill them.
SAVE THE SHARKS
most sharks wont eat humans so no need to be afraid and they are beautiful and interesting sea creatures.  NUH UH NO EATIN SHARKS PEOPLE!!!!
PS. I am a ESF student UwU

First: fish population overflow

Second: the ocean will lose its beauty

Thirdly: is that the fish overpopulation will cause minor water level changes=people living near may die and beaches closed

Lastly:If the ocean water dried out because it coming on the land most people will suffocate because 50% of air and water comes from the ocean.

KS Y4 Question - How is shark fin soup spread around the world? Answer - It is spread by people having it at weddings, company banquets, family gatherings and more. When we stop the buying, we stop the killing! Say NO to shark fin soup!

KS Y6 Poem

SOSS!
A disintegrating ecosystem

I was once peaceful,
but now I am a ruin.
I used to be a paradise,
Now I'm like a shell of what I once was.
Polluted with plastic,
crumbling ecosystems,
I am almost a shell of what I am now.

Please save my disintegrating ecosystem!!!

With 8,000 copies to distribute to kids for free, Dr. Chris Lowe, Director of the CSULB Shark Lab, said the goal is "to inform and empower them, but with a fun, colorful story."

"Beach Days, Save the Waves," created in collaboration with Dr. Erika Holland, Professor and lead of CSULB's Aquatic Toxicology Lab, aims to educate beach-going youth and their families on the impact pollution has on the ocean. It also aims to show them how to contribute to the health of its ecosystems, which sometimes can be as simple as picking up after a pet.

The book's concept was arguably a bit less fun than the first book in the series, "Share the Waves" which taught kids how to approach the ocean safely from a recreational standpoint. But educating kids on the more dire topics, such as the effects of pollution-one panel depicts a sea lion sick with acid poisoning-is a part of Holland's research. And, of course, it will be the younger generations that make the decisions in the future regarding, well, saving the waves.

"Teaching kids how to be safe when at the beach and how to deal with marine wildlife is important, but teaching them about marine pollution, without depressing them is actually challenging," Lowe said. "We wanted them to know what kind of pollution is out there, where it is from, and how they can help reduce it. The goal was to empower them, providing them with examples of how they can make a difference."

Some of those examples include picking up after your pets, riding a bike instead of driving and using fewer household chemicals and fertilizers. More complex topics, such as the Harmful Algal Bloom (above), are broken down into colorful illustrations and step-by-step explanations.

Artist Ren Bernal, a graduate of CSULB's School of Art, who was recommended for the job by CSULB School of Art Faculty and artist Kim Dwinell, continued using characters found in "Beach Days, Share the Waves," which in 2019 offered young readers advice on how to handle riptides, stingrays, jellyfish and sharks. Its cast was originally created by CSULB animation grad, Audrey Hopkins.

Compelled to participate once he heard the book addressed serious topics such as global warming, Bernal said when he was younger, comic books were a huge source of inspiration for him because "they have always had a message to convey."

'Beach Days' author teaches you what she didn't know

"For me, it was really important to follow the consistency of the series," Bernal said. "Not only did I want to respect Audrey but also respect the foundation of the series. I changed hairstyles, clothing, so when a reader dives into book two, they'll see those changes. But, it's so discreet that it doesn't take anything away from the character you're used to. It adds more to the character and the reading experience."

Guided by the Shark Lab team, Bernal, who was aware of some of the risks facing marine life, was provided information via links, websites and access to the labs, offering him a more thorough understanding of the topic.

"Working with these young artists has been an amazing and fun venture," said Lowe. "They have such a positive approach to their visual storytelling and since they aren't biologists or scientists, are learning as they create. I think it makes the books more relatable for kids."

"I hope Beach Days reaches the hearts of many, and with the knowledge that they've received, we can come together and make a difference," Bernal said.

Copies of "Save the Waves" are being distributed through Jr. Lifeguard programs, the Surfrider Foundation, and local public aquaria for free, thanks to funding for production from the State of California Shark Beach Safety Program and a grant from the Save Our Seas Foundation.
