Why Should We Help Sharks?
In this article, scientists tell us about the marine ecologist Enric Sala and his journey to Kingman's Reef. This is a 86,888 square miles habitat that is preserved for all marine life and it is prohibited to go fishing there. President George W. Bush set up this preserve last year around January right before he left office. Thousands of sharks live right in the preserve because Enric believes we should find more safer places for Sharks to live. Many people might find Sharks a negative thing but Scientists tell us the positives. For example, sharks keep most fish from over populating and when you have sharks in a habitat it means that area is healthy. Therefore, Enric Sala is determined to keep them in the ocean. Sharks are being hunted because Shark fins are used in an expensive soup that is popular in many Asian countries. Unfortunately, this means fishermen can make a lot of money selling fins. Scientists also state that about 90 percent of the ocean's top predators have been lost in recent decades because of fishing. As a result, the shark species are in danger of extinction. Overall, this is why marine ecologist, Enric Sala strongly believes that sharks should be helped.
In my opinion, I think that everyone should put an effort towards saving the sharks. For instance, if sharks go extinct then the fish in the Seas will over populate overtime. Then, there will become a competition for food and space for all the animals. Soon, many fish and other marine creatures would die from starvation. In addition, as being a snorkeler myself, I love the beautiful nature of the Sea and all it supports. To keep the oceans safe for all creatures we should create more environments wear all the fauna can live peacfully. In conclusion, this is what I think about assisting all the sharks.
