A great white shark jaw can sell for $50K USD.
Department of Conservation slapping this poacher on the wrist with a $600 fine just encourages him to kill more.
We in the west point the finger at the Asian fin trade for wiping out sharks while we ignore the multimillion dollar jaw trophy trade.
We've made our mark but, who cares? (Rt if you care). Plastic pollution at the scale of the phytoplankton. Every inshore plankton sample I collect contains microplastics. (This was sampled yesterday) ZEISS Microscopy

NOAA Fisheries AK declared opilio crab has been 'overfished'
But still provides industrial trawlers a limit of 3.4M crab and the fleet is killing an 'observed' amount of 85,000 per week.

Japan consumes 80% of Atlantic/Pacific bluefin tuna & is second biggest tuna fishing nation.

Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay
Biodiversity is in decline. Over 157,100 species are on The IUCN Red List with more than 44,000 species threatened with extinction.
We must continue to raise awareness and take action by prioritising biodiversity to safeguard our future.
Milestone reached ☑️: Yesterday the first step of the #StopFinningEU Impact Assessment – the Call for Evidence for a #FinBanNow closed at midnight. 🇪🇺🦈 Thanks to everyone who used this unique opportunity to have a say for #sharks 🙏 bit.ly/3IcoilQ
70% of shark 🦈 meat sold in Australian fish markets & seafood shops is mislabelled including from threatened species.
100+ million sharks are killed globally each year for meat, liver oil, fins & skins, as bycatch & in shark nets to 'protect' humans.
