I agree with you 100 %. I also have some time diving. However the point is that the article makes a bunch of vague statements and draws a specific conclusion. How many people read only the first and/or last paragraph and think it is a valid conclusion?

i don't know how many only read the first and last paragraph. What would be the point. Long liners in their quest for tuna and other fish kill many sharks as a by product of their fishing. By using an differant type of hook the sharks are many times able to break free and survive. I whole heartily support the fishing industry I just hope that the fisherman see that sharks are a viable and necessary part of the health of the oceans.
