For our last Shark Facts round, we have a few places where YOU can further support sharks and their habitats!

A crucial piece of Shark Week revolves around citizen-led conservation. Below are orgs and movements led by folks like us to protect these incredible creatures. Kisame would be proud of their work to protect and conserve his aquatic brethren!

As we close in on Kisame Week 2026, we're discussing the dangers sharks face and what their future may look like!

Did You Know...

Due to overfishing and illegal tacts, such as ghost nets, there are roughly 1,200 species of sharks (alongside their cousins the rays and chimeras) that are threatened by extinction. Contrary to popular belief, sharks are often a byproduct of industrial fishing, usually accidentally caught in netting.

Shark finning–the practice of cutting off living sharks’ dorsal and mobility fins and letting them sink for disposal–started as a sign of social status in China and quickly bloomed to a global class culture phenomena. This cruel practice is believed to have reduced the global shark population by 70% species diversity in the past 50 years.

Shark meat is considered of low value, due in part to its high content of methylmercury, and as a result is not worth the cost of transporting bulky shark bodies to market. Many organizations are trying to utilize this in order to require caught sharks (accidental and intentional) be brought to port to authorise a fishing haul.

Did You Know...

Shark conservation comes in many shapes: studying their social and migratory behavior, mapping their breeding seasons, and even film and photography have improved sharks’ reputation, rewriting their narrative as curious and incredible fish that deserve our intrigue and protection.

There is a global movement to ban the transportation of shark fins! In 2023, the United States Senate banned entry and exit of shark fins and related products; Australia has enacted a multitude of laws at both federal and state levels to regulate and protect shark populations and Costa Rica’s 2001 ban of trade, production, and importation of fins has saved dozens of endangered species in their waters.

There are multiple shark species with legal protection status! Great White, Makos, Hammerheads,and Whale Sharks are just a handful of species that, if caught or killed illegally, offenders will be punished with revocation of fishing license, hefty monetary fines, and probable probation or jail time, according to Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) guidelines.

We're back with some Shark Facts to celebrate our favorite Hidden Mist warrior in time for Kisame Week! This week, we look at the fear of sharks and its dishonest source!

Did You Know...

The fear of sharks, or galeophobia, is not irrational–they are predatory fish and have on record mistaken people for prey. They are wild animals and behave accordingly when they feel their safety is threatened. But, the fear of losing control and possible pain of being eaten alive are recorded reasons for why people are afraid of sharks, according to National Geographic.

Fear-mongering for sharks has been used by Hollywood and corporations that wish to profit off their absence, but the odds of being killed or eaten by a shark are extremely low. There is a one in 3,748,067 chance  of being killed in a shark attack–you’re more likely to be ended by a cow collapsing or a dog attack than an encounter with a shark.

There are many ways to coax away the fear of sharks: you can read up on their behavior, attend webinars on crucial shark research, or, if worried about a beachside trip, invest some time into planning where you may be swimming and which sharks inhabit that ecosystem. Of course, sharing fun facts (like we are!) helps spread a better representation of sharks.

Did You Know...

The movie Jaws set the precedent for sharks as villains of the silver screen--the man-made monster, only appears a little over an hour into the movie’s 124 minute runtime. The actual shark is a mechanical prop loathingly named Bruce, which kept malfunctioning on set.

The infamous fever dream that is the Sharknado movie was shot in 18 days. The principle photography was so rushed that 

Shark Week is celebrating its 37th birthday this season! Running since 1988, Shark Week has curated over 300 hours of content, with an average of 20 million views annually.

New single father Kisame knows that the world is going to be hard for his son just like it was for him, but his neighbor doesn’t seem to mind the baby with a mouth full of shark teeth.

We're back with some Shark Facts to celebrate our favorite Hidden Mist warrior in time for Kisame Week! This week, we peer into sharks' exemplarary skillsets!

Did You Know...

The fastest shark on the planet is the Mako Shark; at 13 feet long, it can reach speeds of over 45 mph thanks to its long, slender body and spear, torpedo-shaped frame. There are individuals that have been recorded at close to 60 mph!

Speed is not just about spriting–some sharks can travel great spans of ocean in record breaking time! The Great White Shark has been known to swim over 1000 km in less than a year, spanning regions from Hawaii to South Africa and the northwest coast of Australia. This helps them feed and reproduce in the best conditions for their species to thrive.

Sharks also use their burst of speed in order to jump out of the water. Using their strong muscles and bullet-like frames, Great White Sharks are known as some of the most aerodynamic fish on the planet–individuals have been recorded breaching the waves almost at 15 feet high in order to surprise their prey.

Did You Know...

Sharks can be equipped for more than just open water and coastal habitats; one such shark, the six-gilled shark, is considered to be one of the first modern-aged sharks, evolving around 190 million years ago during the late Jurassic period!

Sharks living in the Benthic Zone need to be equipped to thrive in almost no light! Recently (published in 2021), three new species of bioluminescent sharks were discovered, with one of them, the kitefin shark, growing to almost six feet in length. This makes it the largest bioluminescent organism to be discovered!

The Goblin Shark is one of the better known deep ocean species of shark because of its looks! Colored pink because of its near-translucent skin and equipped with a snout-like structure, these sharks sense heartbeats of their prey before using their extendable jaws to capture food like a bear trap.
