Sharks are asking for help, but we don't hear their plea

Almost everybody knows the famous Chinese dish shark fin soup, however what not everybody know is the cruel and dark story that is hidden behind this dish.

Rob Stewart, a Canadian born and raised in Toronto, has dedicated his life to save these creatures. His documentary Sharkwater, winner of 26 international awards, show us how little we know about these animals and how they are persecuted and killed just for their fins.

In the fight against illegal fishing and the big mafias that support this techniques, Rob Stewart has launch now a new project "Protect Cocos Island - World Heritage" and is asking for your help.

Cocos is remote and expensive to visit, only accessible via a 36 hour boat crossing. In the past this distance protected it from development and fishing. But as our seas become more depleted, fishermen turn to Cocos to fish illegally. Isolation makes it difficult for the authorities to enforce current laws. CR has a strong cultural history of fishing, and few CR citizens have visited the island and are unaware of its importance and beauty, as a result protection laws are unpopular
