Publisher's Synopsis
Sharks Our Ocean Guardians is an illustrated children's book that traces the connection between prehistoric and present-day sharks, gives details of the features common to over five hundred shark species, introduces some of the more bizarre species and describes how sharks fit into the ocean food chain. After introducing Jed, a young hammerhead shark whose adventures will be the subject of subsequent books in the series, the book finishes with a number of fascinating shark facts.
Since its original publication in 2014, this book has been enjoyed by large numbers of children in presentations by Shark Guardian directors Brendon Sing and Liz Ward-sing, and by the author and illustrator Gail Clarke.
Shark Guardian is a UK charity which aims to advance the conservation of sharks and many other marine species worldwide for their sustainable management while protecting their natural environment. This is achieved through education, developing skills, conservation activities and promoting research projects.
Brendon Sing and Liz Ward-Sing are both scuba diving instructors based in Phuket, Thailand with many years' experience of diving with sharks. Since founding the Shark Guardian charity in 2013, their focus has been on educating the next generation of Shark Guardians by inspiring them to help protect shark species worldwide. Their hope is that this book and subsequent books in the series will encourage children to learn more about sharks, to visit oceans in many parts of the world and to discover the extraordinary strength and natural beauty of these amazing creatures.
Brendon and Liz are very grateful to children's author and illustrator Gail Clarke for the many hours she has spent putting this book together. They are delighted with how she has taken their inspirations and created such a fantastic, factual story with beautiful illustrations.
