Sharkwater - Rob Stewart

2007 Canadian documentary by Rob Stewart. Visually stunning, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Sharkwater was shot in high definition.

Shark finning is decreasing shark population at an alarming rate. About 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins and unintended "bycatch" by vessels fishing for high-value species such as swordfish and tuna. Sharkfinning practice is mainly for supplying shark fins for the so-called shark fin soup. Sharks are being caught, having their fins cut off, and are then thrown back into the sea like garbage.

More than 90 percent of the sharks have already been killed.

This was by far one of the most inspiring documentaries I've ever seen. The world needs more people like Rob Stewart that have the passion and drive to defend nature.
