dolphin park for that matter.

I will never participate in any "swim w/ the dolphin" events, which are held at various resort locations around the world.

I will have no respect for the IWC (International Whaling Comission), which allows the Japanese to continue to kill whales for "scientific study."

While the Japanese are rightly indicted in this suspenseful documentary, many nations have contributed toward the destruction of the seas. Toxic levels of mercury in dolphins are but one of many barometers of ocean pollution.

Coral reefs are not only dieing from the warming of the oceans (a "natural" event according to some), but also from huge drift nets that literally catch everything by raking along the ocean bottom.

Most ocean fisheries are in serious decline; it is estimated that decline is as much as 90%. Further over fishing will lead to the extinction of major fisheries by 2050 or sooner.

Though I haven't seen Sharkwater, I am aware of this movie. One of the crueliest acts I have ever seen is the act of cutting off a shark's fins and throwing it back in the water . . . without fins, the shark essentially drowns. Please don't eat "sharkfin soap."
