Rob Stewart accomplished so much in his life, but there’s still more to do. To honour Rob’s memory, the Stewart family is collecting donations in order to continue his conservation work. You can help by visiting robstewartsharkwaterfoundation.org. A tax receipt will be issued.
Sharks and the world lost such a wonderful soul.
Watching what he accomplished is amazing and i hope his legacy will travel on for many many years.
You will be missed Rob.
Love from us in Calgary Alberta
And the sharks of the world
I saw the video on Amazon today. Wow it was inspiring. The sharks are gone from southern California waters, there used to be lots of blues, makos, and threshers, now not much of anything.
How can we help with keeping the work going?

I saw the first Sharkwater film when I was a young teenager, I was already in love with Diving but seeing sharks from that perspective really made me fall in love with them. Seeing the second film and seeing even more of the amazing work that Rob Stewart did inspires me so much.
The world and all its sharks will miss you and thank you so much for the amazing work that you put forward.
Thank you, Rob. You are and will be missed.
RIP Rob….
I’ll love you to the entire time, I swear it… <3 <3 <3
Just watched Sharkwater Extinction…. Full of tears.
Thank you for all you’ve done Rob, RIP.

I wish the parents, friends and relatives a lot of strength. I wish everyone that one day mourns. I did not know this great person until after I had seen his documentation. His legacy will be infinite. Parents can be proud of this good person. Warm greetings from Germany. Zabi
Thank you for this sharks and other sea Animals mean so much to me. I live in Canada Newfoundland so where I live there is not a lot of sharks around but I love learning more about them and I love seeing people do stuff like this and dream t do it myself one day.
I have just watched Sharkwater Extinction, the second film that I have seen by Rob Stewart. I am devastated by both the message in the documentary and the toll paid by Rob Stewart personally while delivering that message.
To the family, friends and colleagues of Mr. Stewart may I humbly offer my sympathy for your loss. How proud you must be of his dedication and accomplishments.
I am inspired to share his message with my family and friends.
Thank you Rob

I live in germany and i do not have any contact with sharks, but after watching sharkwater, i understand the message and all i can do is to tell everybody that killing sharks must find a end. Robs life and his dead is the start of something new and big.
THANKS for him and his work, i was so deeply impressed watching this movie
people like him come to this world to send a message and they go
So young and beautifull man !i will do something where i`m living

Just watched Sharkwater Extinction, I can’t believe it.
Rest Easy, Rest in Peace Bro.
