Hand-carved and hand-painted floating grey reef shark crafted from sustainable Ecuadorian balsa wood. Lightweight, durable, and designed for water play, each piece reflects the balance of ocean ecosystems and the tradition of artisan craftsmanship.

Grey reef sharks are commonly found in warm, shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including the Pacific Ocean near Ecuador’s coastal areas. They are active reef predators, helping maintain the health of coral reef ecosystems by controlling fish populations.

Although they are not the largest shark species, grey reef sharks are essential to marine balance. Like many shark species, they face threats from overfishing, habitat degradation, and ocean pollution, which have caused population declines in some regions.

Each piece is individually hand-carved and hand-painted by artisan families, meaning every shark has subtle variations that make it unique. A floating toy designed to inspire imaginative play and awareness of ocean conservation.
