Sharks at Risk: The episode

Sharks at Risk is the title of the third episode in the inspiring PBS television series, Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures. This interactive educational game was developed as a companion piece for the program hosted on the KQED.org and PBS.org websites- where children who had watched the program could then log-on and learn more about how Shark generations are at risk in our oceans.

The Online Game

This game covers four different species of sharks, and allows you to experience their environment changing over time. Try moving the slider from the late 1980's up until 2003, and you'll notice how not only the various shark populations have died off, but their entire eco-systems have become increasingly compromised.  This online game was designed and developed using extensive ActionScript programming in Flash.
