## Caption

Humans kill millions of sharks each year, and overfishing poses a major threat to their populations—especially hammerheads, since they grow and reproduce slowly. These iconic creatures are already at the brink of extinction, but successful marine protection initiatives offer a glimpse of hope for the future. 

#HammerheadSharksUpClose with @bertiegregory is now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.
