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

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

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

Vídeo de @ambienteeuropeo donde se ve la mala praxis de algunos operadores. Tras la entrada de la Obligación de Desembarque, tirar pescado por la borda está prohibido salvo determinadas excepciones. En 1r lugar este 🐟 NUNCA se debería haber capturado ¿@ApipesC pueden hacer algo?
