Distribution and habitat

See Shark habitat maps on Commons for any distribution maps already made.

Distribution maps The basic template map is the world map without country borders (Image:BlankMap-World-noborders.png) that can be found at Blank maps.

The blue colour shows where the species is (sometimes) present and white is where it is absent.

The grey colour has R:205 G:195 B:204 The blue colour has R:0 G:0 B:255

If you edit a map, try to save at full-quality so that no blurring occurs at the edge of the countries - this blurring makes further editing of the map more difficult because the "fill" function of many image editing programs don't work with the blurred edges.
