HINT: Our entire planet works off of a balance, it has for millions of years. Evolution in history has taken slow gradual changes that allow everything to continue to balance and stay healthy when it comes to the environment. We know as humans continue on their rapid destructive paths, this balance is changing far too quickly. 

For example, the sharks keep the ocean life in a balance of not having too many big fish eating all the small fish. Why also keeping the fish level safe from overfeeding on the reef. 

There is so much more to this issue. But one thing is clear, we need to STOP killing sharks.

Without Sharks, The Ocean Will Die.
