Story
Hi. I am Cerys aged 9. I love doing walks (that are fun) and I love animals. My favorite animals are kittens, froggys, sharks and leopards!
I saw a Steve Backshall video about how the sharks are getting killed and how this affects all sea life.
Sharks are getting killed every day, about 11,000 Sharks are killed every hour!* This is very sad.. And I want to help do something about it.
This hike is a 20 mile walk in 2 days (my parents will help me). We are walking the Seven Sisters, Beachy Head and back again.
About the Shark Trust
Sharks and rays are some of the ocean's most amazing animals. Present in our seas for 400 million years, they are vital and valuable but also vulnerable. Around a 1/3 of all shark, skate, ray and chimaera species are considered "threatened" with extinction, largely due to the impact of unsustainable fisheries. The Shark Trust works globally to ensure endangered species of sharks are suitably protected, while also pushing for science-based fisheries management for all species to ensure long term sustainability.
