#Repost @oceanicpreservationsociety (@get_repost) ・・・ Did you know that as many as 50 million sharks are caught each year as bycatch by commercial fisheries? If you still purchase seafood, remember to ask yourself #WhatsYourBycatch? #SharkWeek #DontFearSharksFearForThem @racingextinction https://www.instagram.com/p/B0hfv3iHqhD/?igshid=19pmddcjj5fia
Please swipe. Sharks are so much more valuable alive than dead. This is happening to sharks all over the world. Considering how greatly we need sharks for a healthy ocean, as consumers, we must do better in knowing where our food comes from, what we’re supporting with our purchases, and what it could be negatively affecting. Please join us as we growing in our awareness and consumption, so we can better preserve these animals and the vital roles they play on our planet. Post by @nataliekparra ・・・ The first time I saw a pile of finned sharks in person was this past fall in Japan with @dolphin_project (swipe/viewer discretion advised). Shark fin soup isn't really commonly eaten in Japan, but like many places around the world, including the US, sharks are finned and exported. It's a weird feeling to see dead piles of an animal I've grown to love so much. It's hard to describe at first glance. I've seen so many photos and videos, but in person it was even more horrible. I took advice from friends' who spend day after day for sometimes months in a row documenting illegal and destructively legal wildlife trade. You have to detach and process it later or it becomes too much. So, I tried to lock into this weird detached version of myself, focused only on photographing what I was seeing to show others. People have to see that this is happening and at a frightening scale (this was apparently a pretty slow day at this market, see @traciemegumiphoto’s photos a few weeks later). Please, if you buy seafood, know where it's coming from. A lot of these sharks were most likely caught as bycatch and only made it to the harbor because their fins made them worth more than just tossing them back overboard dead. #WhatsYourBycatch.

We are thrilled to hear that Governor Brown of California has signed bill SB-1017 into law!⠀ This bill will now phase out the use of swordfish drift gillnets over a four-year period. The California drift gillnet fishery has caused immense harm to marine life off the coast of CA and is notorious for its high amount of bycatch. Thank you to everyone who submitted testimony on this bill. Keep reminding those around you to make sure they know where the seafood they purchase comes from and to say no to #driftgillnets, #longlining, and #trawling in particular! And if you still purchase fish, ask yourself #WhatsYourBycatch? #keikoconservation #BanTheDeathNets⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoShw2egivq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cyomltor2msw
Video by @pacificolibre via @keiko_conservation_ecuador. "This occurs daily on the coast of Jarmijó, Manabí in Ecuador. Bycatch causes much more damage than most think, affecting protected species like the sea turtles in this video. This net was collected, but sadly the turtles did not survive. We need stronger regulations on incidental fishing and fishing gear. #WhatsYourBycatch? . @ ministerioturismoec @ambiente_ec . #fishing #conservation #protectsealife #protectseaturtlesfromextinction #longlinessuck #protectwhatyoulove" https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJISVnB_Lr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i86zhr4pguk1
This sea lion was lucky enough to survive in this net long enough to being hauled up on board. Most are not as lucky.⠀ #WhatsYourBycatch? If you purchase seafood, do you know where it came from?⠀ It's incredibly important that you ASK.⠀ Avoid longlines, drift gillnets, and trawlers!⠀ 🌊⠀ In terms of bycatch, some of the worst places to buy seafood are #Kroger (@krogerco #krogercouponing) #Albertsons (@albertsons) #WinCo (@wincofoods) #SoutheasternGrocers #Roundys #Publix (@publix) #AandP #Savemart (@savemart) #Walmart (@walmart) #Costco (@costco @costcodeals) #Wakefern.⠀ Avoid #shrimp #mexicanshrimp, #ahi, #snapper #redsnapper, #salmon #farmedsalmon, #longline #tuna #tunasandwich.⠀ Also, there's no such thing as "#DolphinSafe" tuna unless you're catching it yourself.
We’re always sad to see fishing line on the reef but even more so when it’s in an area that’s supposed to be protected from fishing 🤦♀️! Keiko Conservationist @nenedeean had to get clever with this one and use the hook to cut as much of the line off as possible but we’ll have to return with a knife to get it all off! Our Hawaii reef and beach cleanups are usually the second Saturday of every month with our partners at @oneoceanconservation x @waterinspired but July’s cleanup will be towards the end of the month on @paditv’s annual #womensdiveday! Stay tuned for details! #nerdsagainstnurdles #whatsyourbycatch #keikoconservation #oneoceandiving #oneoceanconservation #waterinspired #cressi
If you're not catching it yourself, your seafood dinner may be harming many more marine lives than you realize. #WhatsYourBycatch? A big thank you to @pacificmmc for aiding this Gray Whale caught in a gillnet off Newport yesterday! Read more below! #keikoconservation "#pmmc responded to a Gray Whale off Newport today caught in gillnet, impacting its swimming and threatening its tail with the tight wrap of the peduncle. Photo @newportcoastaladventure Capt. Ryan's drone hovering 10 feet above. Our boat waited with the animal for 2 hours until NOAA team could respond. Good progress was made. Gillnets are bad news! 👎 Double tap if you agree. We need picture to go viral to show the damage being caused!" 🌊 Some of the worst places to buy seafood are #Kroger (@krogerco #krogercouponing) #Albertsons (@albertsons) #WinCo (@wincofoods) #SoutheasternGrocers #Roundys #Publix (@publix) #AandP #Savemart (@savemart) #Walmart (@walmart) #Costco (@costco @costcodeals) #Wakefern.
