@Sea_Legacy @cmittermeier Genuine question. If the Seaspiracy doc pushes for an all out abstinence (correct us if we are wrong) shouldn’t the CTA be to encourage sustainable and ethical fishing based on traditional, local and cultural knowledge rather than to stop eating seafood altogether?
#Hammerheadsharks are extremely vulnerable to overfishing and often end up as by-catch victims in longlines — an unfortunate tragedy that we can change by working together, educating ourselves, and being advocates for #sharks in #TheBahamas and around the globe! RT if you❤️🦈s
#Hammerheadsharks have millions of highly specialized sensory organs spread out across their heads that allow them to detect the electrical fields emitted by their prey! They can also see both above & below them at all times because of the placement of their eyes. #oceanschool
🔨Hammerhead #sharks have one of the most memorable faces in the whole #ocean — but did you know this isn't just for show?
Their unique head-shape awards them hunting advantages, giving them increased agility, panoramic vision, and improved sensory capabilities. #oceanschool

We deserve a government that addresses our basic needs & protects all of us in moments of crisis. Despite the lies you’ll hear from @GovAbbott on Fox News, that’s truly what the Green New Deal is all about" -@parismoran_

The visionaries @Shell are proposing that the world keeps temperatures down by planting a forest one or two times the size of Brazil.
There are a few of issues with this besides the obvious one, that the world's biggest forest is already being rapidly burnt down in Brazil.
Did you know #seagrass beds support marine biodiversity & act as critical and incredibly effective carbon sinks? Some species are 35x more efficient at trapping carbon than rainforests, sequestering it for hundreds of years - as long as the beds are left intact! #oceanschool
Working with our partner @LoveTheOceans, a determined community in Jangamo Bay has launched a kayak-powered #sustainable#fishing project.
It’s a win for the sea, and the people!

"One of the most frequently asked questions I get as an underwater camerawoman is 'aren’t you scared of #sharks?' The answer is no. There is a significant difference between fearing an animal and respecting its nature." -@cmittermeier

Noise from human activity is becoming unbearable for undersea life.
The noise can even doom baby clown fish to wander the seas without direction, unable to find their way home.

#Whales are crucial to ocean health as they help remove carbon from the atmosphere by “sinking” it in their carbon-dense bodies and are also fundamental to the nutrient cycle of the ocean. RT if you think whales are #priceless!

"Protect our rights, protect our people, protect our animals"! Hunters continue to peacefully blockade airstrip & trucking road in Pond Inlet, Nunavut in response to the the Proposed Baffinland Iron Mine expansion which ignores Nunavut Agreement. https://t.co/WkIfGNrpcF
#India: We call on the authorities and protesters to exercise maximum restraint in ongoing #FarmersProtests. The rights to peaceful assembly & expression should be protected both offline & online. It's crucial to find equitable solutions with due respect to #HumanRights for all.
