At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This day is celebrated in July all over the world to protect these Endangered species.
The universal population celebrates this day: particularly animal welfare and environment activists, volunteers, and enthusiasts.
This information is unknown as the exact origin story of the day has not come out yet.
The originator of this day has not been known because nobody has stepped forward to claim the credit.
Now that you know when Shark Awareness Day is, learn some more about its related history here!
On Shark Awareness Day in July, museums all around the world offer educational awareness events to inform people about the importance of sharks in keeping a healthy ocean ecosystem balance.
At the top of the marine food chain, sharks maintain the system's balance in the environment by removing weak and diseased individuals of ocean fish species that become their prey.
The day is about reducing stigma and spreading the word, so learning more about these sea animals is one of the best ways to commemorate the occasion.
You can visit a shark research institute for a plethora of study materials, borrow books from your local bookshop, and see what movies are available in your country. Also, feel free to share what you've learned with others to help dispel myths about these misunderstood species.
By doing your part, you may also assist in protecting sharks. Avoid shark-related things as much as possible: shark fin stew is obvious, but many cosmetics, such as makeup and soap, include chemicals originating from shark liver tissues. Then there are suede items, such as wallets and belts, which may be produced from shark skin, called 'shagreen.'
To aid in the fight against overfishing and bycatch, try to restrict your food consumption or make absolutely sure it is provided responsibly and securely.
And, if you're genuinely concerned about sharks, why not join the fight against the finning of sharks and wasteful slaughtering? Make an appeal, send a letter, host an event, take action.
Sharks are essential players in the marine environment ecology, helping to keep everything in balance. As a result, the world commemorates this day on July 14 every year. Animals of the oceans urge you to understand the importance of how critical it is to protect sharks.
This day in July strives to dispel the myths, stigmas, and misconceptions that surround sharks, and also raise awareness of the importance of sharks and the threat of extinction they face, and inspire millions around the world to act immediately in their defense.
August 30 is International Whale Shark Day, which honors whale sharks and their population. At the same time, Shark Awareness Day is about spreading knowledge about all sharks and protecting them.
Sharks play a vital role in the oceans' ecosystems as apex predators, balancing the food chain and functioning as an indication of ocean health.
Sharks are widely regarded as one of the ocean's top apex predators, however despite this renowned status, most sharks prefer to avoid all contact with one marine mammal in particular: Dolphins. Also, sharks, like every other animal, are terrified of anything that may harm them. This is why they only fight if they believe they are continually being threatened. Orcas are avoided by white sharks for some reason. They generally avoid any areas where orcas are known to be present.
