🦈 Imagine a fishing line stretching for kilometres… with thousands of baited hooks. Now imagine being a shark. You take one bite — and you’re trapped, bleeding, doomed. That’s longlining. And it kills hundreds of thousands of sharks every year. Nearly 500,000 blue sharks were caught as bycatch in the Pacific in 2023 alone. This #SharkWeek, we’re reminded that they deserve better. Tell your government to create ocean sanctuaries that are off-limits to these destructive fishing practices, allowing these awe-inspiring creatures to recover and thrive.
