Right on Amanda, thanks for cutting that longline... what a cowardly way to fish.

It's so sad what we're doing to the great predators of the world. 90% of the shark population is already gone due to the high demand for shark fin soup in China and Hong Kong.

Check out the movie "Sharkwater" and encourage others to see it as well.

sharks are mis portrayed- over 200 species are in danger of extinction from over fishing and illegal fining. 5 people die from shark attacks a year- of the 500 species of sharks only 10 are known to attack humans and we kill 100 million plus a year! we need them to balance the ecosystem- if they're gone then predators that prey on plankton which account for 70% of the oxygen we breathe will mean less oxygen for us- nature has a balance- respect these majestic creatures-

Anyone who states sharks hold no importance must be kidding - but I dont understand why you would want the world to actually believe you are an ignorant fool?

It amazes me, not only as a marine biologist but simply as a concious being, that some people can not comprehend the basic idea of an ecosystem. Sharks are apex predators and as such hold great influence over the marine realm. The over fishing of sharks has resulted in terrible consequences for other fisheries therein, including the scallop fisheries of Chesapeake Bay, the cod fisheries of New England and the coral reefs of Belize.

F#CK THE SHARKS! The whole species should be terminated! I hate them! they serve no purpose in life except for stupid 80's movies. A Shark wouldn't think twice before eating a child! You can't go to the beach without having the fear of been eaten by Jaws..

If this was Save the Dolphins I would agree..
