Shark fishing in the Maldives must be banned before humans do any further harm. Sharks are important to the ecosystem and without them everything in that ecosystem and this will greatly affect us also.

From what I have come to realize is that the sea plankton produces around what? 60% of our oxygen?!! And the trouble being some Fish eat this plankton.!, But thankfully the Sharks feed on these Plankton-eating fish, resulting in the number of plankton being eaten by them decreased severely. So if these people keep up the rate of killing 30-100 million a sharks per year my god.. They are definitely going to be extinct allowing these Fish to feed on plankton freely, resulting in 60% of our stable oxygen to be removed, and now with global warming all and more forests are burning, all and more people are cutting down trees for their own land / to produce furniture making businesses. What is going to happen to us if There is a forest catastrophe and no plankton..? I just don’t want to think of it, .. Thanks for reading.
