Several celebrities including Slash and Lisa Edelstein are starring in a PSA for the Shark-Free Marina Initiative meant to raise awareness and stop the killing of sharks for recreational purposes.

During the clip, stars ask what a world without sharks would be.

Since these creatures are the ocean’s largest animals and top predators, their disappearance would be devastating, causing collapse of the food chain where smaller fish become overabundant and an entire ecosystem is left unbalanced.

About 73 million sharks are killed every year just for their fins during a gruesome practice that leaves them in the water bleeding for dead.

The Shark-Free Marina Initiative would like every Marina to be shark-free, but some state laws and private policies still allow sharks to be killed. So it is asking that every marina become either shark-free–forbidding sharks to be killed or landed in its facility–or shark friendly. Shark friendly marinas still discourage landing and killing of sharks and do not serve shark food products, such as fin soup.
