and we are killing the oceans due to overfishing! also shark finning and other things such as fishing nets and other pollution are killing the sharks to the point of near extinction. if the sharks all die, so do we.

anyone notice with a lot of comments there will be back to back very similar responses but worded slightly differently and with different usernames. makes me think these are bot responses. Also, why do they have a 'reply' to commenter when you can't go back and look at old questions and comments?

Folks need to be responsible for themselves when out enjoying the ocean or lakes. I’ll see some trash and debris that frankly is uncalled for. Don’t be a litterbug!

I really think it's a matter of opinion if not a stretch to say all life emerged from the ocean.

Player #14056457, You including yourself in that vanishing act. I agree that we should be better stewards of the earth but mankind vanishing is an extreme view.

It makes sense to be a 90s thing given the number of movies released in the period based on protecting the natural world

Player #14780657, sharks are good for the oceans I’ve heard they are cleaners & scavengers. On closer study they are magnificent creatures like most amazing things on this planet we call home.
