Dreams do come true! Canada just passed #finfree legislation banning import & export of shark fins. Rob dreamed of not only a #finfree Canada, but a #finfree world. So we’re not stopping here. Please help us carry forward Rob’s legacy & continue the fight: bit.ly/2MVc7QK

I wanted to strike a pose for the press, but I just couldn't believe my eyes with the amount of plastic waste collected from our local beaches... Everything from shoes, tampon applicators, dental floss and more! One man's trash is, well, our oceans' problem #FightPlasticPollution

With 18 new #shark species added to its Appendix II, #CITES is going full steam ahead to ensure #SustainableUse of marine resources. But the hard work of implementation only begins following the listing bit.do/e6ccr #CITESCoP18 #CoP18 #GlobalGoals #SDG14

Almost 600,000 tonnes of #sharks & #rays caught each year by world’s top 20 catchers, new TRAFFIC study finds bit.do/e8ifK Sharks are particularly vulnerable to over-fishing due to their slow growth, hence the crucial role of #CITES in ensuring #SustainableUse. #SDG14

Dear @BernJordanMP: my mako shark cousins are in trouble! You’ve been a fintastic champ, but we still need those #ICCAT peeps to follow your lead - no more keeping mako sharks on boats in the Atlantic! Please, please do that proposal thing again! It's #MakeOrBreak4Makos
