Habitat degradation negatively impacts sharks by destroying the ecosystems they rely on to survive and hunt for food. Habitat degradation results from climate change, pollution, and destruction of important areas like mangroves and reefs that sharks use for breeding, finding prey, and sheltering their young. The loss of these habitats endangers sharks by eliminating protected areas for reproduction and reducing their ability to successfully hunt.
