About Is The Shark Population Under Threat? | The Blue Realm

But there's still one place in the world where sharks thrive - the Bahamas. Sharks not only prosper there, they are highly protected. It's one of the few places in the world where killing a shark is illegal. Content licensed by Cana Media to Little Dot Studios.
