Shark Scientist: Cookie

Rob Stuart, Sharkwater Filmmaker

70% of the world's oxygen comes from plankton in the oceans which is part of the food web that sharks inherently control as the biggest predators. The oceans are also the greatest sink, the greatest consumer of carbon dioxide, which everyone claims is the global warming gas. Disrupting the ecosystems that we depend on for survival could be absolutely disastrous because the oceans feed most of the planet, so it's a system that we can't mess with. Shark populations are absolutely decimated around the world and nobody seems to notice.
