1. Thanks for posting..

Sharks are the scavengers of the sea. They keep the ocean floor clean of debris and healthy for the remainder of marine life.

2. I don't know much about sharks

However it is heartening to know the smaller ones are not really dangerous. I did not know that. I want to rent this when it comes out on DVD.

3. There was a time when Shark attacks were a rarity

now they are almost an everyday occurrence. The animals are getting fed up with human interference. They don't have a moments privacy. It is unseemly for wild animals to be involved in so much human interaction encroaching on their natural habitats. The oceans have almost as much traffic as a busy city street. The pollution factor is out of control. Two oil spills just this week, one in a highly sensitive areas of SF Bay. Depressing indeed.
