#Repost from our conservation friends at @savethereef @download.ins --- ⚠️WARNING: THIS IS ONE INSANE VIDEO!⚠️ A Vancouver woman got an unexpected, and apparently unwanted, visitor during a boat trip — a poor sea lion fearing for its life, who tried hitching a ride aboard the boat just as several killer whales started to close in. The orcas get very close to the boat and start to pop out of the water to take a peek at their would-be meal, who's in no rush to get back into the water, despite this woman repeatedly telling the sea lion, “you have to go”. What would you do if you were in her position? Leave a comment with your thoughts and share this crazy video with your followers!

#Repost @savethereef @download.ins --- ⚠️TERRIBLY SAD BREAKING NEWS⚠️ 380 long-finned pilot whales just died in what’s now become Australia’s worst mass stranding on record. It all started on Monday when 270 whales became stuck on sandbars in Macquarie Harbor, near the town of Strahan, on Tasmania’s rugged and sparsely populated west coast. Unfortunately, around 90 of the whales had already died by the time they were spotted by authorities, but a rescue mission was quickly launched on Tuesday to try and save the survivors. Rescue teams worked hard to re-float the whales and direct them back to deeper water, with around 30 whales released back out to sea by the end of Tuesday. However, Wednesday brought new horrors with an aerial survey of the area revealing a second group of ~200 long-finned pilot whales had stranded about 10km away in the same harbor. Sadly all 200 whales had perished. These whales were believed to be part of the same mass stranding event near Strahan. As of Wednesday, rescuers have re-floated around 70 whales, with a further 20 of those remaining deemed viable for release. Those who are still alive but are too weak to make it back out to sea will have to be euthanized, and the mammoth task of disposing of 380 two-tonne dead whales will begin. While some may be tempted to blame human activity, it’s thought this mass stranding had natural causes. Pilot whales are a deep-diving species with incredibly strong social bonds. It’s possible one leading individual could have mistakenly led the whole group to shore and then fallen victim to the area’s gently sloping beaches. Tasmania’s previous biggest stranding was in 1935 with 294 pilot whales. Please share this sad news with your followers and tag people who need to see it as we MUST learn to appreciate and respect our wildlife MUCH MORE before we lose anymore animals!

#Repost from our friends at @savethereef @download.ins --- PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS AS WE MUST BAN ALL DRIFT NETS! More than 650,000 marine animals, including dolphins, whales, seals and turtles, are killed or injured in fishing nets each year and here’s a sad video of sperm whale caught in such a net, the second one off the Aeolian islands in Italy. While the first managed to save itself thanks to help from Coast Guard divers, this video shows how this one is still struggling to free itself from this deadly trap, shown to us by Carmelo Isgro, biologist & Director of the MuMa-Museo del Mare di Milazzo. These drift nets have been ILLEGAL in Italy for about 20 years, but still continue to be used, polluting our oceans and causing devastation to marine life...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Please share this post with your followers and tag, people, celebrities, influencers and news media who need to see this as it’s long overdue for Italian Minister for Agriculture @teresa.bellanova to take action to ban ALL driftnets and to stop a legislative flaw still allows the use of these truly cruel tools! Help us protect all marine life and whales like this by sharing this post and making everyone aware of what these nets are causing! And this whale was lucky, once this 33-foot whale was finally freed, he swam off to join three other whales who were waiting for him, but sadly many other animals aren’t as lucky and are killed by these nets!
