Hey everyone. Thanks for reading this and taking part in the movement to save sharks and the oceans. Saving sharks boils down to an issue of awareness. We can’t sit down to a buffet of tiger, panda or elephant because there is awareness about what’s happening to these animals. The public is generally unaware of the plight of sharks, so 100 million sharks killed each year goes largely unnoticed. With the oceans, what’s out of sight is out of mind, and when the public doesn’t know what’s going on, they can’t fight for protection. If we can make the issue public, and bring ocean conservation to the forefront, just as saving the whales, and now global warming are mainstream, we can save sharks and the oceans. For that reason, on this blog, and in life, help start the conversation about sharks and the oceans.
There is a cool way to help conserve sharks and learn more about them at the same time. Check out adoptashark.com where the public can adopt a shark that has been satellite tagged and they find out where it went. The money from the adoption goes to buy more tags and support the program. It is really cool. Right now they are tagging great whites in Guadalupe Island, you can even name the shark you adopt!
Hey Robb,
I thought ‘Sharkwater’ was an amazingly powerful documentary. I’m an underwater videographer and I would love to put this documentary on the DVDs I sell to the divers that I film. I love sharks and filming them every day, it breaks my heart to see un-educated people around me, eating shark fin soup without any knowledge of the in-humane, barbaric treatment these sharks have suffered.
I’ll be making my own documentaries about it next year, but until then I’d love to help educate these people by adding ‘Sharkwater’ to these DVDs.
Let me know if you are interested and either way, thanks for your time and keep up the fantastic work.
Regards,
Allie Crawford
Thank you for making such an important message to show the world. I totally agree and support this movement. But, I feel very helpless for all I can do is to ban all the events and gigs that include Shark Fins soup and other so called Delicacies that are so unnecessary and harmful to Wild Lives.
I feel that the immediate need and action is to let the world see the truth, I try talking to others but their misunderstanding has been so deep and they don’t seem to care about what is going to happen to their future generations.
What can I do? What more can I do?
I hope I can get some light…
Nonetheless, thank you sooo much for your great effort, and I will keep supporting this movement.
