July 14 is Shark Awareness Day. Here at the Center for Animal Law Studies (CALS) at Lewis & Clark Law School, we’re honoring the occasion by celebrating this fascinating and important group of animals and sharing how we focus—every day—on protecting the interests of sharks and other aquatic animals. In this blog, Animal Law LLM candidate, Bianka Atlas, shares the importance of sharks, the threats they face, and how we can make a difference.
