NEW TATTOO. SHARKS ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD.

[sharktopia]

Dear Rob, May the waves spread your passion and dedication to every shore across the world. Rest peacefully as the Ocean carries you home.

[wearenotsentimental]

I can't stop thinking about this beautiful human and the fact that he's gone missing. He is the reason I'm passionate about sharks and the marine ecosystem, I admire him so much. I sincerely hope he's found and that he makes it home safely. I'm sending all my best vibes into the universe for you, Rob.

Sharks are incredible creatures. People fear these shy animals and they shouldn’t. Media has exploited only the bad stuff scaring the people to run and hide at even the mere thought of sharks. These creatures are completely defenseless against the hand of man and 100 million of them die every year due to fishing by-catch, finning, and for the tourist consumption. 100 million beautiful animals die because of humans. So who should really be afraid of who? Sharks let us swim in their home, take breath taking videos and pictures of them, swim among them, what do we do? Take them out of their home cut their fins off and throw them back into the ocean alive to suffocate. these misunderstood animals need a voice and that where we come in! We can all start by getting a little more familiar with the subject. There are many organizations and documentaries about the subject, film Sharkwater by Rob Stewart and his team, visit http://www.oneoceandiving.com/conservation---research.html ,  https://keikoconservation.com/. And of course take action! spread the knowledge to everyone you know, keep your beaches clean, and love and protect sharks because they are beautiful and are so important to the ecosystem!

The @btwaves boys wrangle in a brutally powerful 11 foot male tiger shark. . Once the shark is pulled up to the side of the boat the team measures it, takes some blood samples, they tag it, and they say sweet things to it, “You have a sexy big head, tiger shark. Yes you do! Yes you do!” . When the science is done the polo wearing boys remove the hook and let the shark go. The shark never actually leaves the water to minimize the alien abduction experience for the shark. . @finsattached . . . #tigershark #shark #science #sharkscience #sharklove #sharksofinstagram #research #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturelover #naturephotography #nature #animalphotography #nassau #bahamas #sharkwater (at Nassau Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxw3NwKA1kW/?igshid=unyg9mv7hi4f

Sharkwater: Extinction

Rob Stewart, who died in 2017 in a diving accident at age 37, was an ecological activist and filmmaker who devoted his short life to stopping the extinction of sharks. It's too large a task for any one person—or any group of people; as we see in his films, he had help—but he did as much as he could to push back against the idea that sharks are nothing more than frightening sea monsters whose extermination is a public service. As he said in his first documentary, 2006's "Sharkwater"—and as he repeated in personal appearances and in this second and sadly final film—sharks are an integral part of the ecosystem, the top of the aquatic food chain, and their mass hunting (approximately 150 million deaths a year, by his count) will have long-term repercussions for humanity that we can't even imagine yet.

To make matters worse, Stewart says, most of the shark killings (or "harvestings," as the fishing industry prefers to put it, the better to eliminate the whiff of violence) has been undertaken for reasons of nonsensical greed. The first "Sharkwater" focused on the global traffic in shark fins, which are sliced from the bodies of caught sharks before the rest of the animal is thrown back in the ocean to bleed to death. The fins fetch a high price because shark fin soup is considered a delicacy that has medicinal properties. The fact that shark fins have no such properties—a fact repeated in educational campaigns in countries with populations that have been raised to think it's true—hasn't reduced the appeal of shark fins at all. The education campaign has moved 190 countries to ban shark finning, but such laws can be reversed with a pen stroke (and have been, notably in Costa Rica, whose president Stewart confronts). And unfortunately there's a loophole that renders such laws largely ceremonial anyway: as long as the fins are transported on a cargo vessel rather than a fishing boat, the sellers aren't violating the law. 

"Sharkwater: Extinction" includes more footage of Stewart and his allies traveling the world in hopes of exposing the shark fin industry with video, often procured at risk to the activists' lives (in one scene, a trawler off Los Angeles harbor catches them filming dying sharks caught in a giant net and shoots at them). But it takes other, equally chilling information into consideration as well, such as the use of processed or liquefied shark meat in an array of products, from pet food to women's makeup, usually without the buyer's knowledge; and the dangerously high mercury content in shark meat, owning to the animals' status as apex predators who eat animals that eat other animals.

The film is so effective at generating outrage that one wishes it had taken a few steps back sometimes, to put more context around the offenses and crimes it shows us. Although Stewart and his team do activist work in Los Angeles and off the coast of Florida, most of their efforts are focused on majority-nonwhite countries in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, where the fishing population tends to be working class or poor. Absent any meaningful attempt to address the optics of the confrontations in this movie (and its predecessor) it often feels as if we're watching crusading white people trying to stop nonwhite people from eking out a precarious living, in a global economy ruled by stateless corporations that don't care about anything but bigger profits for the already-wealthy. 

There was probably a way to navigate this political and rhetorical minefield, but the "Sharkwater" movies barely acknowledge it. The closest we get in this movie is a moment where former Costa Rican president Luis Guillermo Solis Riviera tells Stewart that, while he agrees in the abstract that shark finning is wrong, fishermen have to make a living somehow, and that as long as the fins fetch a high price, they're going to be taken. Because Riviera's point-of-view has been coded as that of an antagonist, it feels like one of those moments in a thriller where the bad guy opens his mouth and you find, to your surprise, that you can see where he's coming from, even though there's no indication that the movie does. To a certain extent, every documentary about ecological activists has to deal with this issue, and some manage to address it more deftly than others ("Trophy" does an especially good job), but it's skirted here. The movie sometimes suffers from feeling more like a collection of scenes rather than a meticulously assembled argument. But, to be fair, the whole project seems so suffused in grief for Stewart that it's likely that rhetorical seamlessness was the last thing on the producers' minds.

Where the film excels is in its portrait of Stewart as a crusader who lives and breathes his cause. The first "Sharkwater" was released 13 years ago when Stewart was just 24, and made much more of the activist-star as a beautiful object, often posing him as if for a beefcake calendar. Any self-regard Stewart had later in life is largely invisible in the follow-up, which often depicts Stewart in action on land, arguing strategy, analyzing commercial products for evidence of shark meat, driving to docks where fins and shark carcasses are being loaded, unloaded or stored, and sneaking past security to capture the footage he needs to expose what's going on. His keen focus is sharklike. There are times when he seems to sense impending violence as one of his beloved hammerheads might sense motion tremors or smell prey. 

The final section of the movie, which chronicles his final dive, is heartbreaking. Earlier in the movie, we hear a snippet of voice-over in which he insists that he knows the exact time and circumstances of his own death. It's a testament to the magic of editing that, when Stewart prepares to go in the water one last time, we wonder if his faint yet warm smile means he knows this is the end, or if he's always looks happy when he's about to go swimming with sharks.

I am now a shark activist. We must protect these sharp puppies.

[lorde-oftherings]

Rob Stewart. Many people don't know his name, or his cause, or his passion for the ocean. This man is the reason I love sharks. His documentary changed my life, Sharkwater. It's free to watch on the Sharkwater website so I suggest everyone go see it. At the end of January, he and his team went out for a normal underwater photoshoot, something they have done before with no issues. This time with an equipment malfunction, most of the team almost passed out, and Rob (as I've heard) did. They lost him for a couple days and most recently he was found. He was found in the ocean. At peace. It's weird to feel so deeply for someone I have never met. But he still feels like family. I feel like I have lost someone so dear to me. And my heart has been broken ever sense I heard of his disappearance. Because I knew, I held hope until he was found, but we all knew... If there's anything I can say to that man, it would be thank you. Thank you for everything you did in your life for the oceans. For the sharks. Thank you for protecting the sharks. You are a hero and I hope to one day meet you in whatever life we have after this one. I promise to do what I can to continue your legacy and protect sharks at all cost.

I’ve been reading a lot about Rob Stewart these last weeks. You’ve probably heard of him; he was the photographer/conservationist who died on January 31st scuba diving off the coast of the Florida Keys. Rob was a Canadian who had for many years devoted his life to saving sharks. His goal was to educate people on sharks, and their rapid decline in our oceans at the hands of over-fishing, cruelty, and damage to habitat. 

There aren’t a lot of people who are willing to dedicate their lives so definitely to something, especially when there’s not much money in it, and when a lot of the time, it will feel like no one is listening. 

Though I feel like I’m always head first in all news related to wildlife conservation, I seemed to have missed the name Rob Stewart until his recent death. I hadn’t heard of his movie, Sharkwater, and hadn’t known about his work with Greenpeace and other organizations to help contribute to safety of sharks in our oceans. 

Since then, I’ve read up a lot. Rob was working on his next movie, Sharkwater: Extinction, when he died. Though it sounds so cliche, it’s awesome that he died doing the thing he loved most. I can only hope the same happens to me (in many, many years from now). 

That said, Rob’s death needn’t be in vain. There are those who knew his name well, and those, like me, who are just learning it. For all that, his voice and his message -- and in that, his hope to save sharks -- are out in the world now, in full force. 

Rob’s first film was heavily focused on banning shark fin soup. In Asia, no one knows quite how, there grew the belief that this soup has medicinal benefits. It’s total bullshit. It has no nutritional value even - so definitely no healing agents. In fact, if you did get a shark fin soup, it would be flavourless entirely unless it was flavoured with beef or pork. It’s said that the belief arised because it was believed that sharks don’t get sick -- that they suffer no ailments, and it’s unheard of to hear of a shark with cancer. 

Sometimes I am scared of the crazy shit the world can convince itself of. 

No. No. No. Sharks can get sick. Sharks are not immune to illness, nor to cancer. Eating their fin DOES NOT MEAN that you will never get cancer. 

There. Mind blown. Total obliteration. 

It seems silly that someone had to work so hard to create a film to tell us this truth, but it’s true. Rob worked with various teams to bring real life examples to life... not just about the harvesting of too many sharks for shark fin soup, but also long-ling fishing (which is still done illegally all over the planet), and the senseless killing of these animals. 

Did you know that the Great White Shark is endangered? I know, it seems ridiculous. But, it’s true. And if we don’t do something, it’ll be the last of them. Goodbye Great White Shark. Let’s not let Jaws be all we know of these creatures. 

You can find Sharkwater on Vimeo. Google search it. Watch it. Learn about this story. Knowledge is power - let us all share Rob’s message that he worked so hard to share with the world. He’s no longer with us, but it’s our responsibility as participants in the conservation community to carry on the work of our fellow conservationists. 

Find your shark voice.
