Shark Water

I was just able to see a phenomenal documentary on something very serious that is happening in our seas.

Right now, Sharks are becoming more and more overfished, a tremendous threat to the species and as a top-predator, on the entire ecosystem and trophic dynamics underneath them.

Millions are killed each year in a growing industry related mostly to food and in the Eastern World, medicine. Sharks have extremely good immune systems and many countries in the east sell Shark Fin or related parts as health supplements. Shark-Fin is a delicacy and used as a status symbol. Being so sought after, a shark fin can be around 100 american dollars for a lb of shark fin. Fisherman slaughter and cut fins off sharks and finish by dumping the carcasses into the sea. This is a BILLION dollar industry that does not look like it is slowly down and is a serious threat to sharks.

Please check out this trailer and I strongly recommend to see this film, it will definetly open your outlook on our oceans.
