Approximately 73 to 100 million sharks are killed annually worldwide just for their fins. 🦈
.
Sharks are a critical part of the ocean ecosystem, vital for ocean health and vital for the health of us and our blue planet. The removal of sharks is causing devastating impacts with negative effects rebounding into the food chain, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. 🌊
.
In 2015 EU countries landed almost 50.000 tons of shark. 😳This corresponds approximately to the weight of all inhabitants of Madrid! As you can see Europe is a main player in the bloody shark industry: Spain, Portugal and France are among the top 15 shark catches of the world.
.
We all have a part to play in protecting them. 💙
.
👉 You can help to make a difference with your signature: If you are European sign the EU Citizens Initiative to end the bloody trade with shark fins in Europe until January 31! 🇪🇺
