ResponderEliminarI agree with you and the video too that the top predators are ourselves.
EliminarWe do not have to let the humans destroy our nature,we have to fight for all good.
we could have associations across the country dedicated to protecting the seas,and
to properly educating fishermen.
I agree with Xinia, that's right. The world is a perfect ecosystem ; the human is the most important destroyer of the planet, the boys and girls need to see the problem because they are the future and not to commit the same mistake of the old people
ResponderEliminarHi Angel thank you for your words, you have reason young people are the ones who can change the destiny of our nature reserves. Videos such as these should be transmitted in schools and colleges around the world to create awareness so that people abuse does to the environment.
EliminarSharkWaters
ResponderEliminarIt is surprising to see about sea fauna. Everything in this video is impressive because many people don´t know how fishermen kill sharks in a cruel way. They don´t know they are about to become extinct. We should have more police and associations that control the fishing in Costa Rica and the whole world.

ResponderEliminarI agree with you marlin, is doing admirable work that the whole team in this documentary, struggling with the complications, they are trying to make people become aware of the damage that generate marine wildlife. as they say, is a chain of events that affect the entire marine fauna
EliminarThe best way to care of the fishes shark and other sea animals is by making a global law,
ResponderEliminarThis law would be for those people who are going sea fishing have license or permited .
It is an obligation to have proper education to protect sea animals in the whole world.
I ´d feel happy that this would become a reality.
Emilce're right but as mentioned in the video if there are laws, but they are difficult to enforce at sea but I think they should improve the monitoring of marine species worldwide because few groups or associations engaged to care for species extinction and most do not have the resources to publicize the damage humans are causing to the environment.
EliminarI think the government must use more resources to stop it, maybe they can teach local people about the importance of marine life for humans
EliminarIt's sad to see how sharks and others animals are killed by humans only because they think it will give them power. What they need is education and other way to earn money so they won't need catch these poor sharks. This documentary should be translated to spanish and showen to our country so people will understand how important is a simple animal for us.
ResponderEliminarAre sharks dangerous? humans are dangerous. In the video we found numbers about humans killed by sharks, then I asked me how many sharks or animals have we killed? this number is impossible to know because is huge. we are not the victim. the planet is victim of us. I think the problem starts in people who want this kind of meat, they don't really care what happen with the nature also that illegal job produces mafias and is here when the problem begins to grow.
ResponderEliminarThe enviroment is dificult to protect, remember Costa Rica is more water than earth and the government doesnt have enough ships and weapons to keep all the national territory safe but I think the government could search help to others countries.
I think this problem is really hard to solve 'cause if we can't protect ourselves(corruption,slavery,murders) we can't protect those poor animals
EliminarI'm agree with you David the problem start when people thinking in eat all and don't care anything only feel satisfactión and power also the people feel the most important of World they want take the control of everything and never think in consecuenses to the bad actitud is really sad all we are so selfish
EliminarThis video is very clear as how fishing really is in Costa Rica. The concern is what is happening to marine fauna. Humans are killing sharks and other fishes that are about to become extinct.
ResponderEliminarThis destruction of our seas needs to really change. There has to be a way to take care of our seas and sharks.
I agree very much with the people who are struggling to solve or at least to stop the cruel way they fish and market.
Another big problem in our seas is the fishing of shrimp. There does not exist adequate regulation on how to make it a sustainable and equitable environment with the ecosystem;
This is done with several fishing boats using a system which takes everything in its path such as turtles, corals, and all kinds of fish. When their nets come up to the platform of the boats, they go discarding everything other than shrimp, contaminating everything in its path.
This is the first time I wath the film. I can not really believe this is happening in a country as Costa Rica but I agree with the video that the bigger predators ourselves. The humans are dedicating to destroy its ecosystem. People are acting against nature, as seen in this video, he talked about the shark fin, on others videos talked about the turtle Baula for the colletion of their eggs of to be sold without think that tomorrow all these actions could affect us.
ResponderEliminarAll time for movies had been believe that sharks are dangerous to humans but this is not true. I think that all living organisms have a purpose in the environment, so the sharks is important because it´s called ¨The Doctor of Oceans¨.Thanks to the high concentration of urea in the body of the shark, it can eat sick or dead animals and it doesn´t sick. Shark hepl to prevent that others animals can be contaminated with virus or diseases. If people keep killing sharks, not only sharks will be extinct also others species will die.
This documentary is amazig leave us see all the bad things to the people did and continue doing course. is really sad the way to the fishermans hunts sharks only for their fining. see the way to the people are thinking they are an ingnorant and they dont kwow the decrease into the population of shark and they continue killing sharks because they have the myth the sharks can help them with the cure to the cancer and others rare diseases and is false i hope they understand that is a myth and stop the kills .i love the work by bob because he take a risk and maybe they lose your leg but he continue with his labor he is an example to someone really love the nature and the life in the World .some cultures have ways to think about the animals like god put all animals here to we can eat them but we need be consients to the animals can ended if we don't leave them reproduce just taking everthing we want and also we have to love the life too and apreciated the gift that god give us we don't are anything without others parts importants in the world we can't live alone and some animals like sharks do the balance in the sea and that is very important to follow with this kind of life we have .

ResponderEliminarIs truth everything he said ? I dont know but when I think about my country. Is dificult to me find something good, maybe because I am accustomed to see it to that way. In other hand we can talk about other countries. Every country has problems and this is not a reason to forget them to travel or live there. Also is different how people behave towards tourist and new citizens.
ResponderEliminarIs obvious if you travel you'll find workers who serve you in hotels and restaurants for example. They are working to do the things more confortable to tourist.
You can find different people living in a county so you need to be careful who is dangerous and you dont judge everyone together. Finally we are a country of the third world so we dont have many things a first world country has, for lucky of us.
