To celebrate SharkFest, National Geographic Explorers Dr. Shireen Rahimi and Dr. Catherine Macdonald team up to share how sharks thrive in shallow water ecosystems.
, National Geographic Explorers Dr. Shireen Rahimi and Dr. Catherine Macdonald have teamed up to combat the stigma around sharks and break down what makes them so essential to the health of our marine ecosystems.
"I often will team up with other scientists who have more expertise than me when I'm trying to tell a specific story," says Dr. Rahimi."One of those people is Dr. Catherine Macdonald." According to Dr. Macdonald, the study and preservation of these sharks is so significant because, despite their small size, their existence is vital to the overall health of marine ecosystems."They play such an important role in food chains because when you think about the big sharks like the apex predatory hammerheads or great whites, a big part of many of their diets are other sharks and rays," she says.
