🌎 Oceanic sharks and rays are vital to a healthy ocean and – in turn – the well-being of people, too.

But their numbers are falling. Since the 1970s, oceanic shark and ray populations have plummeted by 71%.

    You need to lobby, threaten and antagonize the big fishing corporations and countries that have no regulation on what they catch and eat like China and the shark fin trade. Any small changes or donations we make will be negligible if they don't change. Profit is always the winner but it needs to change.

    Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals.

    If the Oceans Die We Will All Die, every second breath we all take comes from Our Oceans, Think About That Next Time You put a wet wipe down the toilet, or buy fish and chips.etc.

    I hate when I see/hear the word sustainable fishing. How can you sustainably fish/eat/kill animals when the number of humans are increasing by 250 000 per day or 80 million/year? The numbers does not add up. As long as new non-vegan humans are being born there is no such thing as "sustainable". Sustainable is something that can be sustained over a longer period of time usually thousands or even million years - not just in a human lifetime. For example the population of Japan is decreasing by around 100 000/year so the number of fish they are consuming is decreasing every year, making it sustainable in the long run.
