SHARKS

Everytime shark week rolls around I am sure to grab my remote to set my DVR to record all the new releases.
Sharks are very intriguing animals due to being mysterious, so large and potentially dangerous. Even in local aquariums you rarely will seethe giants like great white sharks.
In the United States white sharks are protected, however these strange creatures are still killed both legally and illegally elsewhere.
Sharks are a vital part of the ecosystem and when their populations are depleted strange things start to happen.
For example in one area the sharks are being poached to the point of these negative effects. The sharks kept the local fish populations down and with out them there is a rapid increase in these populations. The Humboldt squid happens to have a favorite among these boosted populations.
Now the area has a problem with the "red devilfish" taking fishermen and divers never to be seen again. 
We need to learn how to survive along with these majestic species instead of against them.
