  • Saw the film. Sharkwater is a must see. Top of the food chain shouldn't be compromised. "Jaws" capitalized on our ignorance and fear. Decadence and ignorance are the cause of "finning" for a soup which has NO flavour and NO medicinal value. Not ALL ancient traditions have merit.This man has done a wonderful thing. Hopefully people will hear his message and spread the word. We are the cause of what's wrong in the world and we are the only ones that can fix it! Not somebody else.Wake up folks!

  • EVERY ONE PUT THIS ON THERE CHANNEL MAKE AND MAKE A DIFFRENCE!!!

  • rob's such an amazing human being. we need more people like this in the world who are willing to risk their lives for change!

  • Please let Rob talk and don't interrup him :(

  • I have his documentary and it's awsome!!

  • I hate how this guy keeps interrupting Rob, as if the host is the one being interviewed, it's fucking annoying.

    Anyway, Rob is seriously amazing and a hero for all marine life and a role model for humans.

    Sharks are such beautiful creatures, and we should do all we can to save them!

  • One of the most beautiful, poignant documentaries I have ever seen. Rob is my eco-hero!

  • Today We had a live conference with Rob Stewart for my science class , its was pretty cool, we got to ask him questions and everything.

  • Im a chinese and i remembered this once at a relative's wedding, I was served sharks' fin soup. I was so disgusted by how the people around me were so excited when they were served the soup, they were waiting for it. And they told me, "hey eat it! its sharks' fin! even if you're full, you gotta eat it!" I shot them a disgusted glance, while they ate two or three bowls of it. I told them it is people like them that caused shark extinction, walked out of the dinner, and im proud of myself!

  • @ToxicIndulgence I am proud of you to! :)

  • @bckb604 because great whites are also endangered .

  • in the documentary, he never swims with a great white... why?

  • @bckb604

    Because that kind of shark is very curios, and almost everything that is new to them they bite it to know what it is. I could say that it is the only really dangerous shark. But they don't bite to eat you.

  • @bckb604 Because great whites are not the species of shark thats being fished heavily. He focused on the sharks like the mako and reef shark because they have been hit the hardest.

  • ppl who kill sharks just for money is stupied without sharks were gonna have a unbalenced system in our water. and people in coasta rica think that they can heal diseases. wat s*** r they smoking the sharks can eat a sick fish n then the shark can get sick. DUH!

  • his work is amazing, anyone who speaks for those who don't have a voice deserve praise. thank you.

  • we love you Rob!!! <3

    The Earth needs more people like you to help save our resources. Future generations will look back and thank you for saving their beautiful sharks.

  • Hey Guys!

    Check out Guam's movement to stop this madness by visiting Shark Tsunami on facebook, tumblr, or twitter.

    Please support us.

    Thank you! :)

  • thanks for visiting simon sanchez home of the sharks

  • its a great video - everyone should see it - keep up the good work rob, your work makes a difference

  • rob is so cool

  • Rob's a sell out. he lost the cause to act playboy...

    someone else will pick up the fight and it is still the most noble cause on the planet

  • @ifiwasa123 have you ever watched the movie? hes definitley not a sell out.

  • @paigesilvi yes, watched it loved it, stand by it. thats not the point i'm was talking about since the movie. he runs around going to burning man and talking about how we can do it. with his fam he should be still be on the front lines of his cause. you can even see it in this interview when he is asked whats to come. all he does is point out that the movie took 5 years to make.

    thanks more not thinking through my point

  • Let the asian eat the fins ...soak up all the mercury and shit and make them sterile ..so they wont fucking over populate every fucking country in the world

  • George, longline fishing does not sound boring at all. In fact, i know that alot of people would love to learn more about it and the terrible consequences. Interesting question though, awesome!! :)

  • Rob Stewart is hot!

  • I think I may fancy Rob a bit...even if he is a fish nerd. Sharks are my favourite animals

  • Support or Volunteer with Sea Shepard and make a difference with regards to these things...

  • i just saw him today at my school :P

  • I just finished watching this...and wow soo moving! really admire this guy, and ya im terrified of sharks ever since i was a kid....but I believe they need to be saved!

  • I LOVE ROB!! my forever model to follow

  • This guy is my hero and my role model and my inspiration and my motivation to become a biologist and work with sharks every single day. He truly has started to change the world.

  • does he have a accent?

  • Hes Canadian x]

  • @narutofan966 what really??? he seems like he's from the states! amazing i love that movie

  • @shadowgirl5550 I thought he was american at first but hes a good ol' canadian :D

    He does have a little bit of a "canadian accent", though, if there is such a thing :\

  • he's a genius

  • THE WHOLE MOVIE IS REAL. I LOVE IT this guy is my idol, he inspired me, now im gonna try a bioligist

  • This man is my hero.

  • hey! i am german and i saw the movie in german but i dont really understand. did Rob actually travel with that ship like in the movie? Is that true?

  • I whent to florida there is a place in I think it is key largo that you can go scuba diving and there are were like three sharks there that day it was crazy because they said that it was rare I got to kiss a shark lol they are tight it was a wonderful expirience I would really recomend it

  • i watched this movie today and CRIED

    it was so amazingly filmed, i'm incredibly impressed that he was able to get my entire class riled up to save sharks based on a single movie

    GO ROB STEWART :)

  • SAVE SHARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He's my hero to

  • Rob is my hero.

  • @Lumpenkudde Have you ever looked up Steve Hindi? Check his youtube out "sharkonlineorg"

  • Comment removed

  • damm those ppl I had a fricking big boat i will just fucking ramm them i will runn their asses over

  • You notice that it's hell getting your fins cut out. Imagine if someone cut off your hands and legs and left you there to starve. Plus I don't hate the people I just do not like their way of eating. You notice that shark fin doesn't even have taste!!!!! Also it has very high mercury levels so if you eat a lot it'll effect your health and your future generations.

  • @aznsin2223 people like shark fins for their texture and something about tradition in parts of Asia. No i do not suppost shark finning.

  • @aznsin2223 Sharks don't starve when you cut off their fins, they actually drown, since they need to move in order to filter the water that passes through their gills. So they die in minutes.

  • holy shit 4 diseases @ once. that must of been hell 2 go thru

  • one positive thing about humans is our ability to think about the thing think and say. i hope watching sharkewate people who think killing shark is fine think again and put more thougth and attention on how both shark and human help eachother side by side on this quest for survival. and if u dont care maybe doit for your dourther,son, newphew.

  • nothing wrong with eating , whats is wrong its killing them for the fin...

  • Even if you have no appreciation for the beauty of nature surely you can understand it's importance in the ecosystem?

  • wow, I see what you did there ... very clever T_T

  • well I hope u enjoy the self poisoning >:) because they absorb the garbage we dumb enjoy

  • Hannibal, your the biggest peice of shit. People like you are the reason behind this. I swear if I ever saw you I would cut off all your limbs and throw you into the sea and tell you to swim dumb nigger bitch

  • If we can put a Killer Whale(who is the top preditor, they even eat sharks) into a tank and swim with them(like seaworld)why can't we try to understand sharks? It was the same way with orcas(Killer Whales) in the begging before they were in aquariums, people were afraid of them. There is even a movie about killer orcas, just like Jaws. People always fear what they do not know and understand. So the more we spread the word the better the chance for sharks. SPREAD THE NEWS!

  • hope all shark killers dies .. fucking lowlives

  • I can't really blame desperately poor fishermen. What needs to happen is a ban on the trade and sale of fins and an alternative income be provided, through education, grants/loans for new businesses and probably most importantly, removal of corruption in local government.

  • its not just fins of the sharks its the entire underwater exsistence.

  • I doubt very much everything will die - there's a lot of biodiversity. trouble is I don't fancy sharing the sea with masses of humbolt squid and poisonous jellyfish =/

  • I really hoe shark finning will come to an end. and those billionare shark finning industries will get whats comming when people become more aware. i think what Rb stewart says "if you run aside a pride of lions do you expect to come out not hurt?" its true. Peopl have to face the fact that sharks don't kill people deliberatly. its their risk for taking to the waters.

  • Anyone who thinks that other animals are not just as important as humans are very uneducated and it shows. We like to believe we are smarter, but look what we have done to the earth already. Pillaging, stealing and murdering through all species including our own, yeah we're brilliant!!!

  • I would rather be inicent of all the hate and live a shorter life than murder my way to the top of the mountain only to stand alone when I say "I'm the top of the food chain and I'm the smartest" Great!! what now?

  • I can't believe there's people out there *COUGH Hannibal COUGH* that think sharks are lower life forms that dont deserve to live on this planet... Theyve been here for hundred of millions of years before us, they have seniority by FAR. Humans are the real monsters of the situation. We're invading THEIR home, taking them out of THEIR habitat and brutally dismembering them. They dont hop out on land and come chop off our arms and legs. They're trying to live their life like every other animal!!!

  • This is a very good point. I believe sharks have survived-what is it-4 major extinctions??? Yet there are still people who believe that there is nothing greater then themselves.

  • HannibalFL86, I am the revealer of idiots, and you have just been revealed! Congratulations!! Now get the hell off youtube you 12 year old ^ ^

  • lol HannibalFL86 is a 12 year old! ^ ^

  • THe movie just kill me!!!that really hurts.

  • Anyone dont to feel sorry when you watch this movie are relle selfish because its like going up to people and cutting off your head or sothing because this is somthing that relle matter's its not fair for any animal to die like this but sharks are becoming endangered we relle do need sharks to servive ! ! ! ! so dont be selffish

  • are wedding is soon

  • Rob Stewart is rad!!

  • When watching this documentary- one thing that really stood out to me was the look of pain in the sharks eye as it's fins were being cut off it while it remained alive and aware of what was happening. It is one of the saddest things I've ever seen and the worst part is that this movie is just barely scratching the surface of the terrible things human beings do to animals, let alone the terrible things we are capable of doing to other people for that matter.

  • i agree

  • I wouldnt mind doing terrible things to the big wig fin industry executives.

  • ahhh he's so cool.

    I've watched Sharkwater a few times and I think I teared up the last time

  • He is so damn hot

  • he's so hot omfg.

  • Comment removed

  • what a truly ignorant perspective. wow you really have no inkling of what an ecosystem is. wow seek education, and please don't procreate, you probably don't understand what it means to take responsibility for your actions.

  • you obviously don't know what an ecosystem is if you don't understand how fragile they are. it's not like killing off one species doesn't affect all other life. you must be an idiot. if no one thought about the emissions their cars put out and thought "oh, this drive won't hurt" then the decline of our planet will rapidly increase. not everyone can take a pebble from the beach...

  • Comment removed

  • Emissions feed trees?!Yeah CO2'feeds' trees but there is only a certain amt they can take.W so much deforestation there r less trees.More CO2 'wasted'&where does it go?Up, up, up&traps heat in the earth leadin to global warmin.Leadin to a lot of other things which u would know if u pay attention in class&use the com for more useful stuff than playin games&givin stupid copmments!Get some grey hairs b4 u dare to think&talk abt things way beyond the grasp of ur small mind!

  • Spoken like a true ignorant american boy!

  • Sharks arn't needed anymore?!? What the hell are you talking about douche bag! Sharks are needed on this planet 1000 time more than humans not to mention they diserve to live more than us to. If humans had never been created do you know how much better this earth would be, for one there wouldn't be any careless bastards like you. Sharks consume the dead and injured fish of the ocean which cleans the water and stops harmful germs from spreading. All humans do is kill and pollute the planet.

  • Hey, you should stop name calling and shut the fuck up. Sure, you can voice your opinion, but your opinion is downright wrong. It's just wrong. So don't talk.

    Fucking tired of this right-wing extremist bullshit. Global warming doesn't exist? Did you skip science class as a kid? And sharks have survived on Earth longer than we have, in perfect form and existence. Have some god damn respect.

  • Hey, you should shut the fuck up, and stop trying to pontificate, e-thug.

    I don't have to have any respect for a lower lifeform, yourself included, so have some god damn respect for your superiors, you worm.

  • ur a dik, hnnbialfl866

  • Stop crying

  • y r u so mean

  • Hey Hannibal it's people like you you that cause Global Warming and environmental destruction! Selfish inconsiderate pricks like yourself. What kind of superior are you?! Superior of the leeches? It terms of youre the biggest?! Leeching off the earth,givin nothing back?!

  • How in hell are sharks lower lifeforms? Just because mankind is smarter doesn't meen we are more important than any other animal. Humans are the most violant,greedy and destructive race that has ever lived, we are going to be the destroyer of earth and you think that we are more important. Stop wasting you're time on youtube fighting against reality and go try and increase the size of your scrappy little brain.

  • Being unsentient, unable to determine their own destiny.. unaware, uncognizant, unable to act beyond rudimentary instincts, again.. lower lifeforms, just like you.. and you really aught not start a fight before you begin talking about fighting on youtube, sort of makes you look like a stupid dick.

  • @HannibalFL86 Do you have any proof that they are unsentient? Are you able to act beyond your instincts? All of your thoughts and emotions are a result of the biochemistry is your central nervous system. Making these "lower lifeforms" extinct will totally destroy the oceans. Do you realize how much we depend on the oceans? You think the oceans will do fine without their top predator? Are humans really that smart when we use are intelligence to torture other animals that coexist with us?

  • Totally agree with you man! That prick(Hannibal) is an immature egoistic bastard and sharks just happen to be one of the oldest 'races' on earth. They were here before us!

  • I hope you get infected by Ebola and get your ass handed to you by a lower life form.

    We shall see how your superior human immune system fights it off while you're spewing blood out of every orifice and pore in your body.

  • lmao. you really are such a fuckwit arn' you 'hannibal' pfft. even hannibal is better then you atleast he attempted to kill the humans who are the bad guys of everything. So in a way. you are being a hypocrite. liking hannibal lector who kills humans. and then saying sharks are low lifes and we are superior. why do you choose to follow something to kills of your superior race? i mean. i'm 14 and i kno more shit then you. you should think before you speak..type.

  • INTERNET FIGHT

    Btw HannibalFL86, we're in the middle of the next major mass extinction event. Enjoy your lifeless oceans and collapsing agriculture. I know I will, Fallout 3 fuck yeah

  • only surfers understand

  • Ehh? Heard about divers? We are the one who relly wants to SEE the sharks :D

  • awesome///start killing people//the shark killers

  • awesome

  • awsome

  • I LOVE him. Shark Finning has to END. I want to help.

  • i love shark water!! omg!! what a important film for everyone to watch. this film is so freaking good i've seen it like over 70 times already, what i love about it, that it shows the beauty of life itself

  • That man is attractive for all the right reasons.

  • F@%# Google Ads!!

    What do I see at the bottom of the video:

    "Shark Fishing Techniques"

    After just watching the movie, that made me ill.

  • Nah, sorry for pullin your leg there. i did not win the cash. But i did win the whole presentation.

  • I saw shark water. If you live in Canada, and you are in elementary school or junior high, you might know about "concour d'art oratoire". It is a french presentation that goes nation wide. Well because of shark water, i did my presentation on shark finning. Thanks to you Rob stewert, i won the nation wide presentation and 25,000$

  • ive been on a video confrence call with him :D it was really fun

  • Please Help Save Sharks!!

    ~Before it's Too Late....

    We Must Put An End To Bloody SharkFinning And OverFishing Now!!

    ~~The Oceans Are The Lungs Of The Earth~~

    Copy and Paste to other video about SharkFinning

  • Wow, I think I'm in love with him. Does he resemble Keanu Reeves at all to anybody?

  • a little more when he was ted Theodore logan then neo but ya he does

  • my science teacher is letting us watch Sharkwater in school

  • Spielberg should make another movie about sharks.... but this time about how sharks are important for us...

    Then he may do something to re-build the shark's image... that, in fact, he destroyed with JAWS (which is a great movie)...

  • finally, someone who finally thinks the way I doo! :]

  • rofl

  • Rob Stewart is amazing, he is so inspiring and passionate and so persuasive!

  • im from costa rica, i felt so embarrassed, i would love to kill all those people who r killing sharks

  • @joey223

    Wow, thanks. Aren't you just... so polite?

    Just because some Chinese people do things like these, it doesn't mean every Chinese person does so.

    Don't be so narrowminded :\

  • Everybody needs to see this doccumentary, its amazing

  • i no ehh, i loved it!!!

  • You realize that saying something like that makes you just as bad as the people killing the sharks..

  • You should grow up.

  • this guy is absolutely amazing... its so cool how he can pet the shark under its snout or whatever and hes not afraid of them so he can touch them and shit. it kinda sucks because like shark fin soup doesnt even have actual shark fin in it, its just the broth. so they kill the entire shark just for the water boiled around it... hopefully it'll end soon and they dont die off :(

  • when i saw sharkwater in the movie theater there were only six other people in there.

  • same :[

  • I want to do all I can to help sharks! Does anyone know of something I can do?

    Rob Stewart is my hero <33 hopefully I can meet him someday I was born in Toronto also.

  • Omg, I was also born in Toronto and guess what?!

    I MET HIM IN TORONTO WHEN HE CAME FOR A LAUNCH PARTY! I GOT HIS AUTO GRAPH AND HE GAVE ME A HUG!!!!! Dood, the sweater I wore when I met him, I have NEVER worn it ever since!!!

  • hahha lolll! he's so hot!! lucky! im going to Toronto in march i hope he will be in town and meet him!

  • hopefully!

    and see, it was for a launch party, like a celebration on the sucess. i went on the website and posted a comment and rob's dad replyed and we started talking back and forth and he told me about the party and i said, I live in tornoto! so he gave me all the information. but i didn't know it was for 19+ so when i found out the day i was supposed to go, i was all depresed so i emailed his dad back and i made him feel guilty so he made me VIP so i can hang with rob, but my dad said no :[

  • OMFG LUCKY B ISH !!!

  • rofl

    i know,

    i really AM extremely lucky!!!

    maybe i'll be even luckier and meet him again but for longer ;)

    OMG I HAD A DREAM THAT HE E-MAILED TO JOIN HIM AND THE SHARKWATER CREW AT A PARTY AND THEN HE CAME TO MY SCHOOL TO TALK ABOUT SHARKS!!!!

    lmfao

    i was lke, OMFG i wish that came true!!!!! :D :D :D

  • LMFAOOOO!!!!! i wish tht happend to me D: i dont think i can look @ another dead freakin shakr everr again :'( i cried during the whole thing :(

  • omg samee

    i'm pretty shure that everyone else who watched it, cried

    i bought the movie as soon as it came out,

    i watched it like 5 more times and I still cried

    omg, now that i think of it,

    i wish i bought the movie before i met him, then i could have got him to sign the movie!!! :O

  • lolz smart one :D

    omg its mostly the chinnese fault now tht i think about it!!! #1 they make soup outta shakr 2# the skin anaimals ALVIE! 3# they stab elehphants and kill their babays for FUNN 4# they use dogs as shark bait !!!!!! THE CHINNESE && WE R KILLING THE PLANET!!!!!

  • as much as i agree with you,

    we can't really be so judgmental and say all chinese people do that.

    yea, it is mostly because of SOME asian countries, but still, can't be too harsh :S

    oh and did you know last year fishermen used DOLPHINES as shark bait, but of course they banned that.

    um HELLO, sharks are still being killed....!!! >:[

  • ya ur rite

    and like the most "inspirtational" thing about the codcumentry is went he guy was like "wen we think of slavery we think there barberic but future genertations will think we are but the thing is that were ruining the planedt but the worst part is we KNOW wat were doing" and i was like OMG ur rite :|

  • @TimaTims13,

    specism = racism = sexism,

    Not all Chinese are bad, I am Chinese and I am a strict vegan. You want a change, start with the one in the mirror.

  • sharks rule! I love Rob Stewart!  He's my hero! =]

    --SaveOurSharks--

  • sharks and rob stewart are the best

  • they eat sharks' fins cause they think that by doing so, they will be able to prevent themselves from getting illnesses, as they think that sharks do not get diseases such as cancer, among others. well, sharks get sick as well. it's so friggin' stupid, man.

  • what the f*** is so valuable about shark fins for the chinese? they use sharks' fins to add texture to their soup, which are chicken or pork flavored?!!! those chinese people are just so f***in stupid, man! they really need to watch this film (sharkwater).

  • i got so mad watchin his movie cuz i had no idea wat they're doin with sharks..... i appreciate this guy's work, very brave to doin wat his tryin to do

  • you're my hero Rob! if we were all like this guy we'd live in a better place! to all you fisherman out there, FUCK YOU!

  • this is a very relevant point that needs to be dealt with accordingly! Im glad this guy is highlighting the cause!

  • love. :) <3

  • After all these years one person finally took the time to find out the truth.

    Who cares about the critics.

    Saving animals is important, not just for them, but the environment we depend on for living.

    This guy is a superstar!

  • 100 million years before the dinasours lol as if u know that sort of shit man
