Seafood fraud in the USA continues. This time in #California where officials have discovered fraud, mislabeling, #fishing violations, and other infractions. DNA testing is the only way to ensure adherence to species claims by restaurants. #fisheries #aquaculture #seafood

Thieves are now targeting semi-trailers full of processed salmon as they leave fish farms and processing plants. They understand the enormous value and opportunity to sell their stolen fish to unscrupulous buyers. #fisheries #aquaculture #fishing #seafood

It is thought that over two million species may call oceans home! 🦑🐠🐬

The ocean's biodiversity is breathtaking, and each species plays a role in keeping our oceans healthy. This #BiodiversityDay, join Oceana to protect life beneath the waves: https://t.co/5KrHwutcKE

The Canadian government is firmly focused and funding removal of “ghost”(abandoned) fishing gear from its territorial waters. Abandoned fishing gear put fish and marine mammals at great risk of unintended injury and death. #fisheries #aquaculture #fishing #seafood

Sharks have survived on Earth for around 450 million years, including multiple mass extinction events. Today, however, many shark species are declining rapidly due largely to human activity.

A major study published in Nature found that populations of many oceanic shark and ray species have declined by more than 70% since 1970, primarily because of overfishing.

Despite widespread public fear of sharks, fatal shark attacks on humans remain extremely rare, with fewer than 10 deaths recorded globally in most years. Humans, meanwhile, kill an estimated 100 million sharks annually through commercial fishing, bycatch and the shark fin trade.

Scientists warn that shark declines can destabilize marine ecosystems because sharks play important roles in regulating ocean food webs and maintaining ecological balance.

Protecting sharks is not only about protecting one species.
It is about protecting the health and stability of entire ocean ecosystems.
