You’ll remember we previously shared the details of young Ocean Ambassador Walter Silk and his initiative to pick up litter in the streets of Oxford in aid of a charity called Bite Back.
Ocean Ambassador founder Felix Appelbe recently caught up with Walter to find out why he loves sharks so much.
Hello, my name is Walter Silk. I’m 7 years old and I love sharks.
I love them for 3 reasons:
First, they are beautiful and majestic.
Second, sharks are not as dangerous as you think: did you know that more people die each year taking selfies than from shark attacks?
Third, sharks maintain balance within our ecosystems and protect vital ocean habitats.

Thank you for sharing with us Walter.
