Sharks Are Not The Most Dangerous Mechantor In The Ocean

The article “Saving The Great White Monster” describes the alarming concerns about the cause and effect relationship about the rapid killing of the shark population. Shark fins are in more demand and there has been an increase in shark killings. The shark population is rapidly decreasing. More awareness is now being brought to this heartbreaking issue.

Sharks are important to our ecosystem and humans needs to protect sharks. The number of sharks have declined by 80% and the main reason is humans. Secondly sharks are important to our ecosystem to keep things balanced. Another reason sharks should be protected is because sharks can be used at a drug to treat human viruses. In conclusion this is why humans should stop the killing and start

Shark finning is the process of cutting off the fins of a shark and discarding the body at sea (“Stop Shark Finning”, 2009). People catch sharks for its fins, meat, oil, skin and so on. Sharks fins are most commonly used in Asian cooking which is shark fin soup. According to Maddalena, Sommeran and Leander (2007), people have been demanding for shark fins dramatically recently, it is unclear how many sharks are caught annually but some of the conservationists estimate the number to be upwards of 100 million. Besides, shark conservationists are aware about the consequences of the high demand of shark fins, they advocate people to stop killing sharks and eating shark fins. Practice of shark finning is causing imbalance marine ecosystems and it

Shark fins consumption has led to the threat of extinction for many shark species. In Chinese culture, shark fins are harvested for the popular shark fin soup, as well as in traditional medicinal cures, both of which are centuries old and hold significant cultural importance. Shark fin soup is a soup or broth of Chinese origin made with shark fin and flavoured with chicken or some other ingredients. With the unexpected increase in fortune in the Far East, shark fin soup is being consumed in vast amounts, placing an unverifiable and crippling demand on shark populations. In my point of view, I absolutely agree with the statement that the consuming of shark fins should be banned. Hence, it would be interesting for us to provide an in-depth discussion on the reason why shark fin soup should be banned because shark finning is an idiotic activity, it will hunt sharks into extinction and affects the marine ecosystem.

Arising over 350 million years ago, the shark species has been labeled as a human devourer. Now, with the increase in human population, the demand for shark meat, fins, and cartilage are at an all time high; therefore, the existence of the shark is becoming a concern (Budker 1971). Individuals are conditioned to think of sharks as a negative aspect to the environment, which is prolonging the effort to save shark species from becoming extinct. With that in mind, some private as well as national organizations have accepted the challenge of educating and informing people about the existence of the shark specie and its importance to the sea.

Whenever you go to the Fish and Chips shop, have you heard about “Flake”? Flakes are a type of shark. They have been killed just for us to eat. The price of them are also increasing. At least 100 million sharks are killed every year. In Eastern parts of Asia, Sharks were being culled for shark fin soup. Dragging out the sharks out of the ocean and cutting off their fins and throwing their dead body back into the ocean is unacceptable. How would you feel if we were dragged out of our home by a random person, got our arm cut off and got put back into our home again? I’m sure that we would all be horrified and terrified by this. It is said that Shark Fin Soup costs around $100 per bowl of soup. There are also some countries that have completely banned shark culling. They are Israel, Ecuador, Mexico, Egypt, Indonesia, Fiji and so on. It is very unfortunate that Australia isn’t a part of this. Sharks also help with ecosystems.

People visceral when they see a shark and they try to capture and kill it. Only some people want to protect sharks. Sharks help by keeping the fish population down First, we can protect sharks by doing little things such as stop finning sharks, picking up our trash. Next people destroy environments by oil spills. Not picking up trash. Last if people don’t stop finning sharks and not throwing their trash away our environment will smell bad and we will have no sharks left.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s article “The Brutal Business of Shark Finning” reminds us that sharks play a key role in the ocean as both predators and scavengers.

Sharks are a fundamental aspect of Australian waters, but shark culling has rapidly decreased the numbers over the past few years. The government definitely should not adopt a policy on shark culling, as sharks are the cornerstone to the contribution of social, environmental, economic and political aspects of our nation. If governments adopt this policy on shark culling, it will undoubtedly have a deliberate impact on the food chain. Additionally, even killing small numbers of already-threatened sharks will rapidly increase extinction risks of sharks. To conclude, humans contribute to the killing of more deaths than the opposite action done from sharks.

Whether it is the fining for fin soup or the desire to have a large shark jaw, sharks are being killed at alarming rates.

Shark finning is popular in asia. They cut the fin off of the shark, and then throw the shark back in the water. Since sharks are being killed for just the fin, there are bans against finning. People also started just killing them after the movie Jaws came out(8). It pictured a Great White shark attacking people viciously. It upset people because it was based on a true story, but in the actual occurrence it was a bull shark that attacked the people not the Great White(8). There are many shark sanctuaries set up in the ocean to protect them. They can go there and live without having to worry if they will get caught in a net or get their fins cut off. In many countries there are bans on Great White Shark products. There are many projects in effect for protecting Great White Sharks(Institution, Smithsonian). Great white sharks are illegal to hunt because they are endangered. They also have a short life span of about sixty years, but very few make it to even thirty. There are many signs that say the great white population is increasing slowly but steadily(Institution,

More and more people have been introduced to a very dangerous practice called shark-finning. Even the people who are aware of the harmful effects they bring still continue on doing it. People are afraid of sharks due to their fierce appearance and the bad publicity they get such as the movies wherein sharks attack humans. Only about 5 people are killed by sharks every year. In fact, vending machines has a higher death rate of 13, while ants can kill about 30 people annually. Sharks are very beneficial to us, why do people keep on harming them? Why is shark-finning so important? Shark-finning gives both advantages and disadvantages economically, politically, cultural, societal, and environmental. It is important to recognize the

Sharon Guynup believed that sharks need protection. In her article she provided many valid points to why she is in this position. First of all, sharks keep the balance in the aquatic food chain. Without sharks all of their prey would overpopulate. Second, people think that all sharks are big and bad, but really only 24 out of the 375 species of sharks are dangerous, in any way, to humans. Those 24 species are only responsible for less than 100 attacks per year and most are by mistake; only 1 bite. Even though sharks don’t do much to us, we kill them all the time for sport, food, leather, jewelry, and they sometimes get trapped in fishing nets. It takes sharks 10 years to reach a reproductive age and they can only reproduce small litters of

The shark week video is a channel based on shark and shows how dangerous sharks are. Sharkwater shows that shark is no dangerous and approves their theory. They say that sharks bite us because they don’t know us. I think that shark fining should be illegal because if we kill the entire shark, the ecosystem will not be the same. Life on earth depends on the life in the ocean. The purpose of the movie is to sensitize the people to try and stop shark fining. Also try and stop the corruption between government and the fisher of shark. In 2013, 27 countries and the European Union have banded shark finning. Finning is illegal in the Eastern Pacific but there is a lot of people that continues finning and fishing in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

Environmental scientists look for ways to better our world and protect our ecosystem from human destruction. Debate on the regulation of species, climate change, and how to lower emissions, are all things that environmental scientists look at. One of the most recent crisis’, is a problem not within the US, but takes place in China and other parts of Asia, a practice called shark finning. This is where sharks are captured, have their fins removed for food, and then are thrown back into the ocean, alive, to sink and die. The people of China use these fins for food and other medical reasons. Since the process of finning sharks is so easy, the people of China are able to kill them off very quickly.
