Shark nets would trap and suffocate Marine life. if there are to many laid out they will trap animals like dolphins, whales, sea turtles, fish and many kinds of shark. If you remove apex predator (like the person above em said) it would destroy the whole ecosystem. It has a BIG impact on the Marine ecosystem.
