Have scientists "jumped the shark" on research? Can't fond something better to do with your time and money?

Cocaine has been washing up on Florida beaches and floating in coastal waters for decades as drug smugglers relentlessly attempt to infiltrate the product into the United States.

Now scientists are examining whether the presence of these cocaine bricks has affected shark behavior, as thousands of sharks off Florida could be ingesting the dumped drugs.

In a documentary called "Cocaine Sharks," which is part of Discovery's Shark Week that starts this week, marine biologist Tom Hird visited the Florida Keys to investigate the sharks’ behavior.

Seems like the only reason you are here is to pick fights. I find it impossible to have any discussion when every topic is crapped on by you and poppa.
