About Us Page

The goal for this project was to teach people a bit about shark anatomy. Mainly with the different visible parts of the shark and what those parts do. I used chatgpt to look up how to properly use an svg image and to align certain properties in certain areas of the page. I also did a lot of external research to better understand shark body parts, what they do, and how they function. Below are citations of the sources I used while doing my research.
