14th July: Shark Awareness Day
Shark Awareness Day is observed on July 14th every year, highlighting the risks to Sharks in the Mediterranean region. Sharks are one of the oldest species on the planet, with fossil records showing they were cruising our oceans at least 420 million years ago. Modern-day sharks have been around for about 100 million years – even that’s back when the dinosaurs existed!
