*More about this piece:

Hammerhead sharks are vital to Hawaii’s marine ecosystems. Their unique hammer-shaped heads aid in navigation and sensory perception. Found in schools, they help maintain ecological balance as top predators.

Threats like overfishing and habitat loss endanger them due to slow reproduction. This piece was purposefully created without a dorsal fin. Finning often involves removing the fins while the shark is still alive, after which it is discarded into the ocean, where it suffocates or bleeds to death. Protecting hammerheads means safeguarding ocean health through sustainable practices and awareness.

Purchase this conversational piece to further spread awareness of the threats they face, and why we must preserve these magnificent creatures and their ocean home.
