I started this group to help people understand how important sharks are along with all the aquatic life. This dream is very important to me and my goal is to make a difference in the world and be a part in improving the ocean...that's why I am going the the first person on a ventilator to go diving. More people should try diving, it will give you a whole new appreciation of the underwater world.

Whether it be getting people and organizations interested in helping preserve our oceans I am determined to make a difference. Maybe there are some foundations that would like to make me a spokesmen. Coral is another very important thing, and the Abalones which are in danger.

My favorite underwater creature is the shark. Sharks are very important to the health of the ocean. If we lose the sharks we all lose. My goal is to protect the sharks. Especially with the controversial issue of shark fin soup, I plan to put a stop to that. Taking the fin and wasting the rest of the shark outrages me. I don't have anything against different cultures, but sharks are way too important as apex predators. I think that someone should come up with a recipe for "mock" shark fin soup! Then the sharks remain unharmed and people can still enjoy the soup.

I feel like a big part of the ocean. I always feel like it's calling me. I'll do anything to keep it around for future generations. It's the last frontier for our world. People should protect all bodies of water not just the ocean. I hope one day to start a foundation. Man has misunderstood sharks for so long. I think it is very important that people know the real information about sharks, not just made up stories. They aren't just terrible monsters that target humans. They are beautiful and impressive. People have to realize that the water is their world. Not ours, we breathe air.

I look forward to meeting other people that have similar viewpoints and appreciate all the beautiful life out there.

Sincerely,
Matt
