Abstract

This study explores the crucial ecological role of the Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) as an apex predator in marine ecosystems. By regulating prey populations, the Great White Shark maintains biodiversity and ensures the stability of the food chain. The paper provides a detailed overview of the biological characteristics, behavioral studies, migratory patterns, and the impact of Great White Sharks on marine ecosystems. Additionally, it addresses the threats faced by the species, such as overfishing, climate change, and habitat destruction, emphasizing the importance of global conservation strategies, including the establishment of marine protected areas and international cooperation. Finally, the paper suggests future research directions, particularly in genetic studies and tracking technologies, to promote further protection of the Great White Shark.
