@@G1234-t5j I understand but as long as it's managed well I've got zero issues with it but we as humans are greedy and don't see the consequences until they are upon us. We have been fishing since we stood upright, hunting is a instinct that is very strong in some of us, I like hunting myself but it must be managed sustainably so that the species we hunt and eat remain strong. As my dad says if you hunt it you better eat the damn thing and be grateful and respectful for the life you took to feed yourself. As long as we operate in that spirit the animals will be fine.

I'm a diving instructor and over fishing of sharks is killing the reefs. What you have to realize is the ocean is like any other eco system on this planet. with the decline in shark numbers which patrol the reefs and eat all the big pelagic fish which in turn eat all the small reef fish which eat all the algee on the coral and keep them clean. they now have no defence against the bigger fish and with the declining numbers of the reef fish the reefs are dieing off.

[@deaj8450]

Couple questions. According to NOAA the vast majority of shark species are above target population levels, and that sharks in shortage overseas are doing much better here. I know overseas they don't have many if any rules around how many you can fish, buy do you still consider it to be a problem here in America? If so, do you think NOAA just has low target populations, or are some reefs still going strong? Would there be other reasons for the phenomena?

So Mundus used to trick his paying customers into thinking they would be going out to catch the highly famed game fish...but this wasn't his intention. If I remember correctly, he wouldn't advertise "sharks!" because at the time they weren't a popular thing, and he felt people wouldn't pay to fish shark but once they got out and hooked into a monster shark, the thrill of the catch took over what they were actually catching.

In my travels i really respected India for this reason, massive population but a lot of people were vegetarian and most meat eaters only ate chicken or goat. Indian cuisine is the richest ive seen in the world thanks to their 4,000 year old culture and the fact that they were the center of the famous spice trade. Their cuisine is full of vegetarian options and India, though densely populated, still has their megafauna. Megafauna that most other cultures have eliminated.

The reason its bad is because they are dying off at an alarming rate. Also shrks aren't the monsters we make them out to be , they are kinda boring

[@TheVeynom]

no not okay with this one, if you kill a shark you're not saving a surfer or a swimmer, because humans are not in their natural habitat in ocean its the shark's territory

The woods are Bigfoots territory and yet we still chop down trees

I agree, if you go into a sharks habitat whatever happens to you is on you not the shark.

Dude. You miss the point completely. Fishing for sharks isn’t controversial. Pulling them out of the ocean, cutting off their fins only, and throwing them back is.

Shark fin steak is DELICIOUS. Called Bolijo in Costa Rica.

[@joehouston1650]

Totally get Joe's perspective. I was born and grew up in a california beach town, great whites (among other sharks) would attack people or have near misses all the time. I actually know a few people who almost got bit by a great white and one of my mom's college professors actually got killed by one a few years ago. Maybe someone could invent something to keep sharks out of areas of ocean where a lot of fishermen, surfers, etc are, like some kinda Sonar like thing, until that happens though, the only way would be to kill them when they get close.

[@scottvelez3154]

Yes, pretty crazy, going into a predator's habitat and getting attacked by that predator. But to avoid killing sharks, there are devices that form electric fields that messes with sharks. Like this device: newatlas.com/ocean-guardian-shark-deterrent/54728/

[@surslaughter115]

Well I grew up in Hawaii, and I know a surfer, she no longer has two arms due to a shark attack while surfing. Not to say that the shark was wrong because if you go into the ocean, it’s no different than going into bear country. It’s only a matter of time before you meet a predator. But I do think shark taste good. So I think hunting them should be seasonal or something just like other animals.

@@Darkstormsun9865 I say live and let live. If a shark goes into your house kill it! Likewise, expect to be killed if you go into the sharks home. That is why i wouldn't prescribe people get into the ocean, stay in a safe pool.
