50 scientists 60+ organisations urge Maldives 🇲🇻 @presidencymv @MFORmv to stop plans to reopen gulper shark fishing.Gulper sharks declined by 97% no signs of recovery, listed Endangered on @IUCN list #HimaayathunNafaa
Proposal violates the Fisheries Act lacks stock data, transparency & stakeholder consultation.
Reopening risks breaching @CITES rules & could trigger export bans.Would harm tourism, tuna fisheries, and Maldives’ Shark Sanctuary reputation.
The Call:
•Suspend plans immediately
•Ensure transparent, inclusive consultation
•Reaffirm commitment to the 2010 Shark Sanctuary

🚨 Maldives Shark Sanctuary at Risk!

The gov plans to allow gulper shark exploitation from Nov 1, a move that would end Maldives’ long-standing shark sanctuary status and open the door to trading other shark species.

This is a step backward for an ocean-dependent tourism nation like ours.

Come hang out and help build momentum for our petition at Lakudhi Jetty tomorrow7:00am 24th! 🦈🌊

Ghost nets = silent killers of the ocean. 😥 Watch how this diver rescues this sea turtle from entanglement. Have you ever witnessed this during a dive? #savetheocean
