For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth. In this interview with green.tv Rob talks about the eye-opening and visually stunning documentary that resulted, Sharkwater.

Some of the many salient points made by Stewart:

One of the biggest issues facing the oceans is a lack of awareness. You can’t see what goes on in the ocean the same way you see what happens in a forest or in an African savanna. So people don’t know that we waste 54 billion pounds of fish every year while 8 million people die of starvation. They don’t know that every single fishery will have entirely collapse by 2048. Or that 90 percent of all large predators in the oceans are gone. And if people could see that. If people could see the amount of waste and destruction in the oceans they wouldn’t stand for it for a second.
