This is an image I took from a class I'm taking about the human impact on the environment.  I don't know who to give the credit to for the picture, but I want to pass it on to those who read the blog and are savvy to or want to be savvy about the state of our planet right now.  The denizens of our oceans  need to have a voice if we are going to keep on destroying their habitat and thus, our own.

For every human shark attack, 1 million sharks are killed.  Because of worldwide alarmist media attention, people are afraid of sharks when they need not be.  Yes, they are bigger than us and look scary, but so are a lot of things, and we do not go around killing them for sport.  The shark is becoming an endangered species because of man.  It may be a bigger animal than we are, but we have bigger toys to kill them with.
