Please cherish our environment and honor all aspects of its beauty. 5838 Ellen Monocroussos, Los Angeles, CA, USA I think shark finning and long line fishing are both disgusting and wasteful and I would be glad to help stop it in any way I can! 5835 Louis Ledo, Paris, France It's a shame! 5833 Sebastian Buehler, Stuggi, BW, Germany 5828 Not publicly disclosed, Matraville, NSW, Australia 5827 Oscar Lind, Sweden I’m just here to raise my voice and show you that there is a global concern with sharkfishing. I'm afraid that the rather poor shark protection around world will lead to major ecological disturbances damaging even humans. 5826 Miranda Struthers, Northwood, Middlesex, UK How can you not see the ramifications of allowing shark fishing? How can you not protect the world's most famous reef? Please reconsider... 5822 Alexandre Descamps, Maisons-Alfort, France Probably one of the most important animal in this world.

Although I’m not Australian, sharks live round the globe, it affects us al. If you mess with the ocean ecosystem, you mess with the world's stability. 5817 Elisiane Lorenzato, Cascavel, Parana, Brazil its a shame. Es increible que el gobierno de COSTA RICA y otros paises que dependen del ecoturismo permitan la actuacion de MAFIAS ORIENTALES que asesinan tiburones 5815 Sabrina Pinheiro, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil It’s a shame for the human being's race doing all these with their own planet! 5814 Alexander Gervais, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Shark finning disgusts me! 5813 Laurence Mangeot, Bennwihr, ALSACE, France What will happen to us if we continue to accept inhumane practices as part of everyday life? Anything that has a nervous system (to say the very least) obviously has the ability to feel pain. "Do unto others as you would have done unto you". I damn sure would not want anyone to viciously cut off any part of my body WHATSOEVER; thus, I will not go around dismembering anything around me. I guess that there is no room for ethics in a house full of greed. Please be kind. 5809 Not publicly disclosed, Hamilton, ON, Canada Please save the sharks 5803 Paul Garcia, Toulouse, Haute Garonne, France Every man got the right to decide own destiny. oh you must leave intelligently if only for yourself stand on your principality I just want to reach them all who cannot see. 5802 Jen Krueger, Libertyville, IL, USA Hey really dig what you guys are doing here keep up the good work. 5793 Maddison Connell, Aventura, FL, USA This is a terrible this and I wish it was more publicized so the public would be more aware of what is going on. 5792 Jean Francois Dubois, La Ferte St Aubin, France Very good job thank you for the world 5791 Nathan Funnell, Salem, OR, USA The barrier reef should be a sanctuary for all marine life. Stop this now before it ‘s destroyed forever along with the hope it symbolizes. 5789 Denis Lavalle, St Pierre Baptiste, Quebec, Canada Save the sharks. STOP SHARK FISHING: The shark fishing industry should be stopped at the source, by stopping the Chinese people from consuming shark fins. They are the biggest consumers of shark fins.

In the end, it ‘s our life that depends on this! Thanks! 5786 Rick Miller, Easton, PA, USA J'ai toujours aime les requins et depuis que j'ai vue le film de Rob Stewart, je veux faire partie de la solution. 5784 Danielle Moseley, Paris, France I greatly believe we have to stop fishing of sharks I’m deeply hurt and shocked of the news of what is happening to them and our planet. 5783 Not publicly disclosed, Hudson, Wi, USA I couldn’t believe my eyes when I came across this. How can Australia do something as monstrous as this?! We are already ruining ecosystems on the planet and allowing shark fishing is just another of the ways we are destroying the planet. STOP AND THINK!!! Don't turn into monsters! Just because the sharks aren't seen to be as intelligent as we are and can ‘t express their feelings doesn't give us the right to slaughter their populations. Would you act differently if the sharks could talk to us?!?! PROTECT THE REEFS...without the sharks the reefs may suffer more than they do already! 5780 Jesy Beckman, Crystal Beach, ON, Canada I want to hurt those people that hurt sharks the way they hurt them. Cut their ears off and make soup out of them. 5779 Biron Dany, istres, Bouches du Rhones, France tout ces massacres pour de l ‘argent ! sauvons les requins et tout l ‘cosystme ! sauvons la plante ! 5778 Simon Colley, Bournemouth, Dorset, UK Please address this burning issue there is no need to savage our oceans. Preservation and education is the key at this point in time! Is there really any need for us too massacre these wardens of the sea? 5777 Not publicly disclosed, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil I strongly feel that it is cruel and inhumane to do what people are doing to the sharks. They play a vital role in the ecosystem and here we are, allowing fishermen to capture them and slice off their fins to add texture to some soup and then toss them back into the open sea to sink to the bottom and suffocate. I do not understand what is wrong with these people who feel that it is alright to do so, but how would they feel if we cut off their limbs and tossed them overboard? It is cruel and needs to stop now!!! 5775 Mariya Gluzman, Brookyn, NY, USA I hope to someday bring my kids to Australia and show your beautiful country to them, including all your land and ocean creatures. It would be heartbreaking to not be able to show them your glorious sharks as well! Please, help future generations enjoy what we do! 5774 Suzanne Clarke, Whistler, BC, Canada I used to eat Mako but not anymore. SHARKWATER opened my eyes to what man is doing wrong to our eco-system.

We depend on it and we (humans) are destroying it! It is simply not inteligent! 5762 Ruben Kempter, Ravensburg, Germany You know it all. Just do something about it now. 5761 Not publicly disclosed, Montreal, Quebec, Canada If the politicians of this world are unable to act on the common sense knowledge that it is essential for sharks to be protected in order that we protect ourselves, the we are f#cked! 5757 Jennifer Russell, Salem, MA, USA Please help to save these amazing creatures while there ‘s still time!!! 5755 Daniel Boutet, Shawinigan, Quebec, Canada As long as a country supports shark fishing, I will enthusiastically support boycotting traveling to those countries, as well as advocate that friends also boycott those countries. Maybe the lack of tourism dollars will promote change. 5753 Rob Valllieres, St Lazare, Quebec, Canada I was so moved after watching the brilliant work of Rob Stewart in his documentary SHARK WATER. I will and plan to do as much as I possibly can to save our Sharks and our planet. I am not a marine biologist or Oceanographer but I am one person who has been awakened by what I saw and learned. I was totally beside myself when I saw how much was happening behind closed doors in Costa Rica and the Galapagos. Our species thrive on FEAR. Please contact me at anytime if I could be of any help, in anyway. Thank you for opening my eyes!Rob.V 5752 Brent Neil, Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada Green party candidate for Laval Les Iles (24033) Canadian federal election 2008. We have to do everything to preserve life on this planet the suffering of even one species is too much. The loss of this predator will be the demise of the ocean as other species grow our of control and use up all the resources in the ocean making it impossible for us to survive. We must protect them now! 5751 Chad Wadsworth, Beaverton, OR, USA I just saw a wonderful, beautiful movie on the playful behaviour of the Great White Shark. I do not believe in the decimation of any life form and would like Cdn law to be at the forefront in pursuing laws against shark hunting. It ‘s disgusting. 5748 Jan Curlee, Riverside, CA, USA Stop killing the sharks, They are so beautiful The ocean needs them so do we.. 5747 Steven Newstead, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, UK Shocked over Australia’s decision on shark fishing...expected more from the government who see themselves as a nation of environmentalists. wankers! 5746 Julie S, PA, USA I am 17 and i just want my kids to see sharks swimming in are oceans in 2025 I love them so much i just want them to live. 5745 Rebekah Everett, Durham, UK Please take action now to save sharks. If we don ‘t the future generations will wonder how we could look at all the information and still do the wrong thing. If we lose the top predators of the sea then the ecosystem will decay. The ocean is 80% of the earth. It is not a buffet for grabbing! 5738 Danielle Gibbons, Hamilton, ON, Canada I am absolutely at a loss to why us Queenslanders don ‘t know about what is happening to our wildlife in our waters!! I thought we had more credit and integrity than this. 5733 Seana Campbell, Victoria, BC, Canada I find it sad and despicable what we as humans are doing to our world. With the knowledge and communication available to us in this day in age, I don ‘t understand how our governments are not fighting and setting laws to save our endangered animals/sea life. Please do something to protect our sharks. 5732 Mariana Rodriguez Vagaria, Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina I was completely stunned! I‘ve been fascinated by sharks my entire life and just finished watching "Sharkwater" and I felt so disturbed!!!!. I Had no idea sharks were in such danger!!!! WE humans look like monsters cutting sharks still alive and sending them in this conditions to the water. But after cruelty comes world wide problems. For next generations we can still make a difference. If we do not stop this we will have oxigen problems! 5731 Samuel Skidmore, Sydney, NSW, Australia As a student at the University of Sydney studying Resource Economics This idea is not only economically flawed but a backwards step in Australia’s environmental future.

The sharks were one of the reasons to go for the GBR. What I liked there: no finning, no feeding and no cages. 5634 Not publicly disclosed, Toronto, ON, Canada The slaughter of millions of sharks is a global issue which threatens all of our lives. Promoting a healthy oceanic ecosystem is in all of our best interests. We cannot afford to lose the sharks. 5630 Shannon Perger, Kelowna, BC, Canada I think that shark finning should be banned. I am only 13 years old, and already I am participating in banning shark finning whenever and wherever I can. This is very important to me. When I watched the Sharkwater movie, right away I said to my classmates, as well as my teacher... I want to help. I want to be a leader. I WILL make a difference. When I was little I always though sharks were fascinating, and now, I finally get to help them, and hopefully, and someday... get to be a shark saver, that is as bold and brave as the people on Sharkwater proved to be. Thank you for reading this message. -Shannon Perger 5629 Hlne Bayot, Calais, France Its bad so stop!!!! 5625 Taylor Whiteside, Kelowna, BC, Canada I think that it is animal abuse and it should never be allowed again. 5624 Madison Lawson, Klowa, BC, Canada really, want, need, to help!! 5623 Not publicly disclosed, Kelowna, BC, Canada I think this is absolutely ridiculous...

Such an ecosystem should be saved, and the removal of one of it’s top predators is definitely not the action that should be taken. Surely everything in your power should be done to protect the coral reefs, oceans and its inhabitants. 5604 Melanie Sora, Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada I can’t believe that anyone can honestly say shark fishing can be a sustainable resource 5600 Céline Cabello, Orgerus, France Hello i think that paramount to protect the sharks.

They are a far more incredible species than humans could ever hope to be, especially in the light of people like you who consciously go out to obliterate another species. Stop thinking of the dumbest sign ever invented, the dollar sign. Do what is right for the planet and ALL of its species.5517 Not publicly disclosed, Burnaby, BC, Canada The fact that this is being considered is appalling.5516 Not publicly disclosed, Paris, France 5515 Not publicly disclosed, Sydney, NSW, Australia 5514 Lindorfer Luana, Woodbridge, ON, Canada 5513 Robert O'Grady, Montreal, Quebec, Canada 5512 Jackie Amsden, Vancouver, BC, Canada 5511 Iain Walton, Aurora, ON, Canada 5510 Not publicly disclosed, Arlington Hts, IL, USA 5509 Not publicly disclosed, Lichfield, Staffordshire, UK 5508 Andrew Woodhall, Huntly, UK 5507 Anna Carter, Littlehampton, West Sussex, UK Killing animals which increase tourism in the Great Barrier Reef area so ruining livelihoods for years to come is only one reason why the shark industry must move away from the short term finacial gain of simply wasting top level predators. What will the next step be? - if the Australian government can deem it right to start or protect shark fisheries it is only a matter of time before it condones finning.5506 Mark Erckmann, Seligenstadt, Hessen, Germany 5505 Sarah Jones, Bristol, UK 5504 Andy Miller, Ashtead, Surrey, UK As the current economic downturn extends it ‘s reach through 2009 and many in the World are unwilling to acknowledge the root cause as unchecked greed, the pressure to continue exploiting natural resources for economic gain will continue. It requires bold leadership to step up and prevent such exploitation from wreaking havoc in our already impaired eco systems. I am humbly asking those who have the power to help preserve such a unique Global wonder as the Great barrier Reef, to do all in their power to help protect the entire Great Barrier Reef eco-system for future generations. It is one of the Worlds greatest treasures and your countries greatest assets, step up, take the lead and protect what you have for all our kids to marvel at.5503 Lee Hackland, Manchester, UK 5502 Matt Keuken, Owen Sound, ON, Canada 5501 Paul Sanchez Navarro, Akumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico Please keep sharks protected in Australia5500 Nicole Ritchings, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia This is simply an unnecessary money grab from a government which is failing its environment.5499 Bernard Mathieu, Bordeaux, France I‘ve spend 1.5 years in Australia.

I believe that only strong positions in the political arena and enforcement of strict laws can now solve this problem. I am joining Sea Sheppard to call upon the Australian government to protect sharks and the great barrier reef ecosystem so that the next generations don ‘t look back and see us as the ones responsible for the irreversible ecologic and climate issues they will be facing.5484 Not publicly disclosed, Abu Dhabi, UAE 5483 Not publicly disclosed, Abu Dhabi, UAE 5482 Ilija Rajic, Stoney Creek, ON, Canada This is disgusting.

Instead of creating markets to make profits that ignore the true costs, you should be spending money to urge other countries to uphold international moratorium laws. I am ashamed of Australia for not being a part of the solution, especially considering one of the greatest ‘economic ‘ resources they have is the great barrier reef.5470 Daniel Bosnjak, Mississauga, ON, Canada Shark populations need to be protected!5469 Lynda Bamberg, Koetschette, Koetschette, Luxembourg People all over the wolrd must see that sharks are important for our surviving.5468 David Hanau, Paris, France 5467 Loic Herblot, Villabe, Essonne, France 5466 Gemma Cutler, Toronto, ON, Canada 5465 Falk Butscheidt, Cologne, NSW, Germany 5464 Warren Almonia, Davao, Philippines 5463 Marlene Dessalces, Unieux, Rhone Alpes, France j aime les requins depuis toujours et j ‘en ai assez de voir des images de barbarerie au profit de certains pays c‘est une honte de traiter ainsi notre planete et d ‘etre aussi peut respectueux des beauts de notre monde faux arreter ce massacre le plus rapidement possible5462 Romain Krieger, Aressy, France 5461 Ryan Mitchell, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Unbelievable a country such as Australia will subdue to short gain profit by mass shark fishing.5460 Ayla Salem, Vancouver, BC, Canada 5459 Not publicly disclosed, Vancouver, BC, Canada I think what ‘s going on in the world over shark finning for the Black Market is horrific!

Every year until I graduated elementary school my science projects were about the many species of sharks. I have a love for those amazing creatures. I am disgusted that we still live in a world where we kill other species inhumanely just for profit. The governments of the world should wake up and enforce the protection of sharks, and the people of the world should refuse to use or eat shark products. We need to get off of our high horse and except we do not have the right to decide which species live and which species die. If we continue this destructive activity it will soon be the creation of our own demise.5432 Not publicly disclosed, Calgary, AB, Canada This is disgusting!

As a human being I am embarrassed, what kind of individuals have we become...5401 Michel Gadoury, Frelighsburg, Quebec, Canada Men for money destroys our survival on earth.5400 Holly Comeau, North Vancouver, BC, Canada What an outrage! We must protect those with no voice!5399 Chelsea Henley, Nanaimo, BC, Canada Rob Stewart and SharkWater are the best things on the internet and EVERYTHING in the film is true and the governments and fisherman around the world know it. Greedy, selfish and undereducated are we humans. Save The Sharks and Save the Planet from ourselves.5398 Gianna Burdick, Brighton, IL, USA My son just turned 9.

This is appalling. Australia should be a leader in conservation, especially with the delicate ecosystem the GBR already is. Let me just point out that I am also of Chinese decent and I am totally against eating shark fins. It makes me sad that this tasteless, expensive tonic is all in the name of 'FACE'. This is disgusting, people need to be educated of the consequences. It's time we do something about it. YES WE CAN!5387 Jordan Seller, Benamenil, Lorraine, France Film tres impressionnant qui nous aide un comprendre un animal tres complexe et tres peu dangereux.

How can you even consider creating a shark fishery in Australian waters when your country is so strongly opposed to whaling??? Shark fishing is as bad if not worse, due to the serious decline of sharks in our oceans!! To open up a shark fishery in Australian waters, whilst attacking the Japanese for whaling, is hypocritical and will remove any credibility, respect or voice you currently have in the opposition of whaling.5377 Carol Pedersen, Calgary, AB, Canada 5376 Azadeh Madjidi, Dublin, CA, USA 5375 Not publicly disclosed, Drbak, Akershus, Norway 5374 Not publicly disclosed, Besanon, Doubs, France 5373 Carol Tse, Vancouver, BC, Canada 5372 Heather Ninneman, Fremont, CA, USA Shark Finning is a crime against the marine life in the ocean and should be stopped immediately, before the most beautiful and majestic marine species we've ever known is pushed to extinction.5371 Kat Dahlquist-Bauer, San Antonio, TX, USA 5370 Carolin Merz, Berlin, Germany 5369 Abdala Kaufmann, Dollard des Ormeaux, Quebec, Canada Finning sharks, is the biggest waste of life, the few criminals profiting, is taking away a vital part of the eco-system in which the human species is dependent on for survival.

SAVE WHAT IS LEFT.5361 Erin Shull, Los Angeles, CA, USA I was just in Cairns and went diving with reef sharks, and I cannot believe you would endorse fishing in one of the few protected places they have left! They are beautiful creatures and important to the future of our earth. I want my future children to be able to have the amazing experience underwater in Australia that I had. Please don't ruin this for them. Ban shark hunting altogether in Australian waters!5360 Joline Buscemi, Naples, FL, USA 5359 Not publicly disclosed, Montpellier, France 5358 Not publicly disclosed, Ottawa, ON, Canada It is an unconscionable act to continue to hunt and kill sharks.

I lived in Sydney for a year and I learnt a lot about their culture and ecology consciousness, are they stepping back?? As a Colombian I grew up in a Catholic society, I'm no longer Catholic since 18 years ago, but I believe Heaven and Hell are nowhere else than here on Earth, our planet was created as a paradise or Heaven and we are turning it into a living hell or inferno. Aussie people please help to protect our planet, if there was an animal that should reduce its population, sure that one is human being!!!

Les requins- au sommet de la chane alimentaire et prsent depuis 350 millions d annes sur Terre -sont en trs grand danger par notre faute et il faut agir immdiatement en sanctionnant trs lourdement ces individus mais surtout en faisant voter une loi interdisant la pche des requins. Si nous voulons que nos enfants hritent d une plante o les espces sont encore en vie et non plus en voie d extinction , agissons et interpellons les gouvernements afin que ceux-ci mettent en place quelque chose d enfin efficace.5238 Robert Murray, Preston, Lancashire, UK As an experienced diver, I have seen the impact first hand of the growing exploitation of seas. My family and I will now no longer holiday in countries that allow long line fishing for sharks, and we are part of a growing group that is of a similar mind.

Marberger, Bavaria, Germany Protect sea life immediately!!!!5228 Andrea Makovicz, Richboro, PA, USA 5227 Nicole Shumway, North Palm Beach, FL, USA 5226 Konrad Sabine, Landshut, Germany If Beauty has a name, it's called SHARK! Don't kill it!5225 Not publicly disclosed, Brussels, Belgium 5224 Maureen G, Sherwood Park, AB, Canada We owe this to ourselves, our children, grandchildren & the natural order of this world to make this stop. Money has become more important & it is time to take a stand. The brutality of these killings is beyond my comprehension. Are we as a race so "stupid" to believe that we can do anything we want & there will be no repercussions for our actions? This only proves that the human race is no longer evolving into a more intelligent species, we are just proving that animals truly are smarter than us as they understand the idea of natural selection versus murder!!5223 Not publicly disclosed, Val Therese, ON, Canada 5222 Nathalie Molland, Bergen, Hordaland, Norway 5221 Not publicly disclosed, Ottawa, ON, Canada 5220 Not publicly disclosed, Oakville, ON, Canada 5219 Anthony Earthen, San Diego, CA, USA It's far beyond time for this whole world to understand how essential sharks are to our survival. How ironic that we are now stewards for this ancient creature who has survived so vast a millenia.5218 Jessica Negrey, Edmonton, AB, Canada 5217 Not publicly disclosed, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil 5216 Jennyne White, Washago, ON, Canada I hate this problem and find it so unbelievably disgusting. Being one who had formed a serious fear at a young age, exactly as they say, Jaws, I am embarrassed for anyone who turns a blind eye to the severity of this issue, just because they can't afford an hour to research the truth in it.5215 Edwige Motte, Rennes, France 5214 Robert Goodman, Scituate, MA, USA 5213 Diane Blunt, Vancouver, BC, Canada 5212 David Touye, San Francisco, CA, USA Please protect a valuable resource to our ecosystem and the world. A world without sharks would be a dangerous world indeed.5211 Vicki Haynes, Crouch, Kent, UK As a diver, I would rather see these magnificent creatures alive, in their natural habitat than culled for any reason.5210 Claude Tremblay, Vancouver, BC, Canada We need to keep the ecosystems healthy for us, humans, to survive and make this planet a healthier place to live.5209 Natalie McIllree, Dunsborough, WA, Australia 5208 Lindsay Sharp, Toronto, ON, Canada The Great Barrier reef is a valuable and complicated ecosystem. We cannot deny that sharks play a very important role in maintaining the health of this ecosystem. Catch limits based on non-scientific data is irresponsible. What measures would be taken to enforce these catch limits? Illegal fishing is the next step in this destructive, money-hungry plan.5207 Emilee Morin, Langley, BC, Canada 5206 Not publicly disclosed, Colorado Springs, CO, USA It is horrible, outrageous that some countries allow catching shark just for their fins. And if true, really horrible that apparently dogs & cats are being used as bait to catch shark!5205 Michael Shepherd, Sigriswil, Bern, Switzerland Save the sharks. Stop Shark Finning.5204 Not publicly disclosed, Sutton, MA, USA 5203 Magdalena Strom, Uppsala, Sweden 5202 Ville Perint, Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland 5201 Matt Bakker, Brisbane, QLD, Australia 5200 George Fairer, Boulder, CO, USA 5199 Stuart Rumbelow, London, UK Please, please, please do something.5198 Mario Garcia, Dallas, TX, USA Please stop, it is not worth a few dollars the huge damage that is being done in every way, true government is wise and has true power to shape a better world that is what we humans are responsible for, and we will pay dearly with what money can't buy. For the love of everyone on this planet and the ones to come, stop killing sharks.5197 Not publicly disclosed, Aarhus, Denmark 5196 Robin Orford, Burnaby, BC, Canada As a Canadian citizen, I, as well as many others, have always viewed Australia as a progressive, humanitarian, and environmentally friendly society. It would be in your best interests to uphold this image, while at the same time doing what is morally right.5195 Lisa Schierholt, Carlsbad, NM, USA 5194 Erika Pinto, Bucaramanga, Colombia 5193 Graham Mitchell, Florida City, FL, USA 5192 Not publicly disclosed, San Dimas CA USA 5191 Not publicly disclosed, Chicago IL USA 5190 Coline Trupiano, Clermont Ferrand, France Je viens de regarder le film Sharkwater et je vous soutiens dans cette lutte contre la disparition des requins.5189 Mark Elliott, Holts Summit, MO, USA It is amazing that we as the dominant force on this planet also happen to be the most self-serving and ignorant. And in the end if things continue we will dominate ourselves into extinction. A fitting epitaph.5188 Erwan Veillé, Vitré, France 5187 Sabrina Bizon, Nantes, France 5186 Jean Louis Vulliez, Kerlouan, Bretagne, France 5185 Not publicly disclosed, Weinstadt, Baden-Wrttemberg, Germany On a holiday years before, I got to know Australia as a country where nature conservation counts. All the more I'm shocked to read about the creation of a dedicated shark fishery by the Queensland DPI&F. Through this action I'm forced to see things differently. Due to my frustration about this, I will do my very best to publicise your objectives about shark fishing. Now it is your turn to do the right thing that will help me to receive a different impression of your government goals.5184 Beatriz Molano, Bogota, Cundinamarca, Colombia PLEASE stop destroying our world!!!!5183 Damien Jover, Servian, Herault, France J'adore les requin et c'est une honte de les exterminer ainsi alor qu'ils sont tant utiles a notre survie et a l'equilibre sous-marin.5182 Klaydy Z. Buchsbaum, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, St Lucia 5181 Not publicly disclosed, Vienna , Austria 5180 Alex Soulsby, London, UK Australia has an incredible ecosystem that brings in billions every year and the sharks are crucial to it. Killing them for a few dollars today is the solution to nothing.5179 Gianmarco Ruffatti, San Salvador, El Salvador Live and Let Live!5178 Melissa Christensen, Wildwood, NJ, USA 5177 Sean Brower, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Everyone should watch the movie Sharkwater.5176 Melissa Harvey, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada We need to value sharks and realize how important the are to the balance of the eco-system.5175 Allan Araya Martnez, El Guarco Cartago, Costa Rica 5174 Not publicly disclosed, Mexico, Mexico 5173 Toniolo Fabio, Bogota, Colombia Jo estoy con los tiburnes.5172 Ingrid Arevalo, Burzaco, Buenos Aires, Argentina 5171 Kim Dobbin, Kitchener, ON, Canada 5170 Germn Figurelli, Buenos Aires, Argentina 5169 Fernando Nez, Concepcion, Chile WE MUST SAVE THE SHARKS!!!!!!5168 Tomas Ortega, Santiago, Chile 5167 Stephanie Rouiller, Montevideo, Uruguay 5166 Fanny Wu, Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional, Dominican Republic 5165 Cynthia Acaba Anaheim, CA, USA 5164 Not publicly disclosed, Grenoble, Isre, France 5163 Dhaneesh Panesar, Leeds, Yorkshire, UK 5162 Matt Taaffe, Oshawa, ON, Canada 5161 Chrystal Rowe, Oshawa, ON, Canada Ban ALL shark fishing.

The great barrier reef is on my life list and I would like the sharks to still be there when I am able to make the trip.5144 Sara Rodriguez, Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia Please, stop the fishing of sharks. Please save sharks from fishing and fortuitous that they were assassinated by their fins, it is not fair, they contend the ecosystem.5143 Elayne Cilic, Woodland Hills, CA, USA 5142 Not publicly disclosed, Edmonton Alberta Canada 5141 Heather Adams, Toronto, ON Canada 5140 Not publicly disclosed, Boston , MA, USA 5139 Shannon Hames, Nelson, BC, Canada While on a catamaran, north of Cairnes, I witnessed the mistreatment/sport fishing and killing of a female reefer shark on the GBR in 1991. When they opened her belly, they found 6 beautiful young sharks inside. It was a horrible vision I will never forget.5138 Maria Lourdes, Ramirez Velez, Medellin, Colombia I love the sharks and the animals of the universe. Yo amo a los tiburones y a todos los animales del universo. La vida es slo una, los seres humanos no son ms importantes que las plantas o que los animales, yo me atrevo a decir que ellos son ms importantes, porque las plantas y los animales son mejores en todos los sentidos que nosotros.5137 Not publicly disclosed, Chicago, IL, USA 5136 Ashley Krajca, Miami, FL, USA 5135 Allyssa Beird, Chicago, IL, USA 5134 Rachel Burns, Peterborough, ON, Canada 5133 Alejandra Barrios, Bogota, Colombia 5132 Lisa Coffey, Heskin Lancs, UK Thank you so much for producing such an amazing informative film and making it reach my DVD player. I am absolutely stunned, mortified and will be truly affected for the rest of my life. I will do whatever I can to help our sharks and pass the message on. Thank you once again!5131 Not publicly disclosed, Marennes, France 5130 Adriana Mejia Granados, Bogota, Distrito Capital, Colombia I wish that we really think about what the impact is to lose the shark population for the human survival?5129 Fernando Viana, San Salvador, El Salvador 5128 Jacky Oppendinger, Colmar, Alsace, France Please stop finning the sharks, don't touch OUR world!5127 Sonia Anglada, Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina It is NOW the time to do something to save our planet. Sharks are a critical part in oceans ecosystem and life on earth depends on oceans. We have to save these beautiful animals which have a purpose in life. We should not destroy what God has created.5126 Not publicly disclosed, Buenos Aires, Argentina Es increible esta terrible matanza injustificada, a medida que veia la pelicula se me caian las lagrimas de pena, y a la vez sentia un desprecio absoluto por esa gente. Ojala la gente tome conciencia que nos estamos detruyendo nosotros mismos al hacer estas cosas.5125 Not publicly disclosed, Westmont, IL, USA 5124 Janine Dekumbis, Koh Tao, Suratthani, Thailand To whom it may concern, I dive with sharks nearly every day, as I am a dive instructor. Mostly we see gray reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, the occasional bull shark and once or twice a year we even get to swim with the majestic whale shark. In the 7 years I've spent on our Island, diving with sharks nearly every day, I never felt threatened by any of them, not once! Neither have I seen or heard of ANY accident involving sharks in our area. They are the most amazing and stunning creatures on earth (along with manta rays). But sad fact is I see less and less of them from year to year. We HAVE to save them! Shark finning or fishing cannot be supported by any government in their right mind, as these creatures are one of the most endangered species on our planet! From a second or third world country I would deem understanding of this issue not as a given, but Australia?!? I am shocked to hear an open minded, economically smart country as yours is not actively protecting endangered species AND potentially destroying one of their most important resources: Tourism! Believe me, in the long run, the money earned with shark fishing will be deducted ten fold on your income from tourism as soon as shark-awareness is risen and word gets out Australia is (or was) one of the "badies". Do what's right, please protect our sharks! Yours sincerely, Janine.5123 Shane Donnelly, Newark, DE USA Please do what you can to save these amazing creatures! It's the right thing to do.5122 Lucas Solowey, Montreal, Quebec, Canada I urge you to protect the barrier reef and its shark inhabitants. Please oppose shark fishing!5121 Anne Leschallier de lisle, Brest, France 5120 Vanessa Evrard, Paris, France 5119 Jillian Lucas, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Wake up people this is inhumane and idiotic.5118 Not publicly disclosed, Brighton, East Sussex, UK 5117 Nicolas Arcos, Seattle, WA, USA 5116 Not publicly disclosed, Miami Beach, FL, USA 5115 Steven Zielinski, Newcastle, WA, USA Leave the sharks alone, man how dumb do people have to be to realize by killing all the sharks they are slowly killing themselves and the whole human race!!!5114 Stephanie Dore, Paris, IDF, France 5113 Kimberly Maguire, Coral Springs, FL, USA 5112 Not publicly disclosed, Chandler, AZ, USA 5111 Kaitlyn Smith-Baker, Miami Beach, FL, USA Think of future generations!

Preciso uma campanha mundial para proteo da pesca com anzis e da pesca por barbatanas. O mundo no sabe o que est ocorrendo!!!!5105 Vanessa Seva, Meudon, France 5104 Remi Gingene, Saint Etienne, Loire, France I'm not biologist, I'm not scientific, I've got no power, I'm just a guy who wants to do something to protect the wildlife, I don't want to give money and don't know what people will do with it, I want to give my time and my energy but I don't know where to start, so if you can help me, let me know, thank you and sorry for my bad English.5103 Fred Dacquay, Ajaccio, France 5102 Tanya Davis, Ipswich, QLD, Australia Shark finning is a horrible example of what the human race is capable of doing to this world. I can't believe that in Australia, they are even thinking of allowing this mutilation to occur in one of our most beautiful commodities like The Great Barrier Reef.5101 Adan Iriarte, Mexico City, Mexico First I want to congratulate for his good actions for the better of the World, well I knew your actions in Cinemax channel, in that moment I see everything, everything with the sharks, then I surprise about the poor mind of the people who fish that poor animals only for money, then in that moment I really feel so bad about the sharks, only I want is peace with any animal, please if there anything who you need please tell me, ok, and don't give up, well, bye.5100 Roxanna Whitney, Langley, BC, Canada 5099 Alexis Munder, Neuilly Plaisance, France 5098 Thais Ferrazzi, São José Do Rio preto, SP, Brasil 5097 John Nicholson, Florianopolis, Santa Catirina, Brasil 5096 Tim Harrison, Calgary, Alberta, Canada 5095 Alessander Botti Benevides, Vitria, E.S., Brasil 5094 Francoise Boiton-Guennec, Rungis Val-de-Marne, France 5093 Tristan Guennec, Rungis, Val-de-Marne France Save the sharks please.5092 Jonathan Lu, London, UK 5091 Sisse Tiedt, Holbaek, DK, Denmark 5090 Not publicly disclosed, Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina Por favor difundan mas acerca de los tiburones, lo que no se ve o no se conoce es como si no existiera. se debe terminar con la matanza. exigir a los paises o naciones unidas para crear leyes proteccionistas.5089 Pablo Garcia Brenes, Pavas, San Jose, Costa Rica Hi I'm Costa Rican and I think what you guys are doing is just great!!! Not everybody likes sharks as I do, I can't find the words to say how much I love them, but I've been feeling pretty bad lately, because in those difficult times we've been past through related to the environmental troubles, people don't wanted to get involved with the cause, but, when I see what you are doing for the conservation of this very important species I decided to support you now at the distance but when I finish the university I would like to give my physical help because I realize that this is what I wanted to do and this is what I have to do. Sharks need us!!!

I am genuinely shocked to hear of this shark fishery proposal. Please don't make the same bad decisions that so many other countries do and continue setting a GOOD example in a world full of bad ones.5061 Not publicly disclosed, Kirkwood, MO, USA 5060 Veronique Michelle, Fontaine le Port, France 5059 LR Bryant, Golden, CO, USA 5058 Not publicly disclosed, Livonia, MI, USA 5057 Sandra Lsch, Berlin, Germany 5055 Adriana Camacho, Bogota, Cundinamarca, Colombia 5056 Emily Kysel, Michigan City, IN, USA Please ban ALL shark fishing immediately and save the sharks! 5054 Sylvain Berchtold, St-Luc, VS, Switzerland Nous n'heritons pas de la terre de nos anctre, nous l'empruntons nos enfants...Stop killing the world…5052 Not publicly disclosed, Plomodiern, Bretagne, France 5051 Rachel Williams, Noosa Heads, Queensland, Australia 5050 Jenna Eales, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Ban all shark fishing! we need these animals to survive and to keep the ocean and ecosystem how it should be.5049 Sara Abrahamsson, Sandviken, Sandviken, Sweden 5048 Sarah Hughes, Corsham, Wiltshire, UK Save the Sharks - Save Ourselves!5047 Susan Leech, North Vancouver, BC, Canada 5046 Shara Nixon, Surrey, BC, Canada I am opposed to shark fishing and will boycott with my tourist dollars any country that allows it.

Please protect all the creatures within your waters.5033 Angela Patterson, Perth, West Australia, Australia What happens to these magnificent creatures is a disgusting disgrace. It just shows how cold and cruel some of the human race can be. These majestic kings of the sea have caused no reason for senseless hunting and slaughter of their species and the people responsible should have their arms and legs severed and be left for dead. It makes you sick to think how thoughtless we can really be. It's our environment too and this senseless maiming of these beautiful animals is not only cruel but it puts our environment in jeopardy too! THINK ABOUT IT!5032 Not publicly disclosed, Baar, ZG, Switzerland 5031 Not publicly disclosed, Garden Bay, BC, Canada Such a fragile area MUST be protected -- exceptions are not an option.

They are beautiful creatures and I cried while seeing the movie: Sharkwater. They are my FAVORITE animals and I didn't know this was happening. I thought they just wanted whales. Please help them, they don't deserve this. The worst thing is the way people do this, I SAW IT!!! THEY WERE JUST CUTTING AND THROWING AWAY!!! IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I'm just 13 years old and I really love them. Please Rob Stewart, I feel identified with you. Do everything you can, cause the world is with you.5022 Phillip Li, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada 5021 Alexandre Vaissiere, Abrest, France I am for a better world with no shark finning.5020 Lucy Curtis, Hockley, Essex, UK 5019 Kirstin Taylor, Staines, Middlesex, UK Having greatly enjoyed the experience of working on the Great Barrier Reef, I was lucky enough to see sharks almost every day. I met so many people who had never before seen a shark but who left the area with nothing but respect both for these wonderful creatures and for a country that works to try to protect the wonderful reef resource that you have.
