What is one of your bucketlist dive moments? Share your stories with us @scubadivingbabes 🌐🌊🔥 . . This was my first encounter with a shark in its natural habitat in Providencia, an island off Colombia 🌊 I vividly remember this 36m dive with numerous curious Reef sharks. This is one of my treasured dive memories, firstly diving with sharks takes lady balls 💪 and secondly, as a marine biologist the desire to portray their curious nature by interacting with them may help shed some of the devilish fear that is associated with SHARKS 🦈🦈💙💙 . . #padidiving #padiinstructor #padi #divetravel #blog #scubapro #happy #scubadiving #travelgram #adventure #explore #underwater #Caribbean #reefshark #photooftheday #elmar #foto #bucketlist #sharkdiving #marinebiologist #marinebiology #naturegram #shark #conservation #savethesharks #wildlife #gopro #instadaily #solotravel @suuntodive @hollisdive @scubapro @aqualungdivers @paditv @paditravel - @scubadivingbabes on Instagram




Adult great white sharks grow to a maximum size of approximately 20 feet in length, weigh up to 6,600 pounds, and are estimated to live for 30 years. What is more fascinating about Great White sharks, is how little we know about them, and are yet to learn. (📸: @bundle.dive ) - @projecthiu on Instagram

Hello Mr.Whaleshark !

It’s fun and will take a day or two to happen


*poke* I love you Cajun! I was paired with Cajun, who is one of four rescued bottlenose dolphins of Gulf World, to be his husbandry primary trainer. Which is basically that I work on and maintain all of his medical behaviors. So naturally I started to build up my relationship with him as there needs to be an incredible amount of trust between animal and human in order for them to trust you enough to voluntarily give blood samples, urine samples, administer eyedrops/medication if needed, etc. Then recently I was paired with him to work in programs as well. Ive never had a dolphin that I clicked so well with in the water before. He reminds me so much of Tlatoani, one of the male dolphins from Cabo Dolphins who I worked very closely with as well. I have already had some of my most rewarding programs with Cajun, as I did with Tlatoani as well. So heres to you Cajun; a rockstar survivor, one of my best dolphin coworkers, and to our many more experiences together as a team teaching people about your story and how we can help dolphins and other marine life just like you. - @livinlargelachinski on Instagram

Presenting the largest fish in our sea, Rhincodon typus or Whale Shark. The latest image from my collaboration with @nathansawaya To see the full image and learn more about some of the worlds most endangered species go to @perniciemcollection 🐋🦈 The Whale Shark can weigh up to 50,000 pounds and grow to be over 30 feet long. It is, however, deceivingly harmless. It survives mainly off of plankton and the occasional small fish. Ironically, they also pose no threats to humans - at times even allowing swimmers to hitch rides on their backs - despite the fatal impact we’ve had on them and their ecosystem. The Whale Shark has been on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species since 2000, when it was categorized as Vulnerable. It’s classification had not been remediated by the time of its second assessment in 2005 and only continued to worsen. In 2016, the Whale Shark became Endangered and research shows their numbers are still declining. Its population in the Indo-Pacific region has been reduced by 63 percent and approximately 30 percent in the Atlantic. Combining the data of both regions shows that the overall population of the Whale Shark has been cut in half. Although a number of commercial fisheries were forced to close from the 1990s-2000s, the Whale Shark’s byproducts have remained valuable and they continue to be hunted illegally. They are especially vulnerable in parts of Asia, like China, where Whale Shark take has actually increased. It has also become susceptible to not just accidental but also intentional bycatch, as they’ve proved to be indicator species for the presence of other fish. It is also certain that a large number of Whale Sharks have succumbed to their injuries from vessel strikes as shipping lanes continue to be placed closer and closer to their feeding sites. Although we know the number is likely high, because these giant creatures usually sink to the bottom after death, it is near impossible to accurately estimate how many are lost each year. Without a more aggressive approach to the conservation efforts of our ocean and its inhabitants, we will likely have lost another beautiful species, the Whale Shark. - @deanwest on Instagram

⚠️How to Help Save Sharks⚠️ 🦈Go Diving with Sharks. If you’d like to go diving with them, send me a DM. Let’s go on a trip to learn first hand how sharks are not the monsters they are made out to be, to learn the importance of sharks and the efforts needed to help save them. Also you’d get pictures to show family and friends that we can safely coexist with these animals. ♻️Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Sharks often mistake plastics and trash for food and so all that non-food consumption will eventually lead to illnesses and death. 📜Write to Your Legislators. With enough people writing to their representatives, they could introduce legislation that will list sharks as a protected species, banning shark finning and fishing. 👩🏫Talk to Your Community. Encourage schools and teachers to educate their kiddos about conservation efforts. Kids are the face of the future, teach them correctly while you can. 🙋🏾♂️Donate and Volunteer with Shark Conservation Organizations. These organizations work to change the image of sharks, to educate the public, and to spread the love for these animals. 🗣Speak Out. Use your voice to tell the authorities of shark harassment and mistreatment when you see it. 🚨Raise Awareness on Social Media. With people spending hours and hours on social media, use these platforms to spread awareness about sharks and shark conservation. Share a post, blog or article to your peers. . . #sharks #sharkweek #savetheearth #oneoceandiving NO #sharkfinsoup #helpsavesharks #sharkconservation #savesharks #underwaterphotography #marineconservation #sharkattack #fyp - @philllipv on Instagram

Monster Mako payoff ! There is no better feeling then to stick to a game plan and have it pay off at the 11th hour. Preston Howard @p_totheg_howard and his crew ( Riley and Matt) had faith in me to stick to our game plan for a chance to hook a fish of a lifetime on the fly. This monster rolled up late in the afternoon after waiting for 5 plus hours on a 7 mile drift. This was one of the most aggressive makos I’ve ever tease up. Peston presented the fly perfectly, not once but 3 times! This mako was so big we had a hard time sticking the hook in the corner of her mouth. ( you can see the red popper in the photo) What happened after was insane. This mako charged the boat and ripped the chum bucket off the boat cleat and proceed to swallow the bucket as it drifted away from the boat. She never returned but an hour later Preston hooked a beautiful 100 plus pound mako that jumped and peeled off a couple hundred yards of backing before we released it at the boat. ...... A special day, with great guys and a chance at a monster world class gamefish on the fly!!

Repost from @atlantic.owt.collaborative • We don’t just encounter oceanic whitetips during our research expeditions. We’ve tagged tiger, blue, silky and reef sharks. During our time on or in the water we’ve also seen blue marlin, spearfish, mahi mahi, yellowfin tuna, beaked whales, dusky sharks, nurse sharks and a whale shark. In 2013 we captured and tagged a juvenile tiger shark out in the deep blue. A few days later we swam with the same tiger in shallow sandy bottom waters. Then we encountered the same shark again, swimming into Hawks Nest Marina. Three encounters in three different environments spanning 17 nautical miles over a period of a few days. Amazing! #BrendanTalwar from @ceibahamas and a longtime member of our collaborative is studying silky sharks as part of his graduate project. 📸 by @seawilliams. Pictures: 1 & 2 oceanic whitetips; 3 & 4 the tiger we found three times; 5 blue; 6 silky. #sharks #sharkresearch #sharktagging #owtcollaborative #bahamas #haiti #oceanicwhitetipshark #blueshark #tigershark #silkyshark - @bahamassharksanctuary on Instagram

I had the opportunity to go on a commercial spearing strike the other day for African Pomona. We see them here in Florida, some healthy schools, but not like this (out of state). There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. Walls. Schools. As far as you could see. Our buddies are willing run to where most people wouldn’t and they manage that area so well. They don’t do this often, but when they do, I hope I’m the lucky one getting the invite. We were able to provide fresh, whole pompano to local restaurants for the weekend fresh catch menu. I had no prior experience of spearing more than for myself and close friends. But it felt really nice to give locals a chance to enjoy their coastal delicacy, those who do not have the time or ability to go get them themselves. It takes a village. We all have something to contribute. I don’t produce the wine, I don’t grow the vegetables, nor do I make the cheese. But I can spear a fish. I love community. I love the gathering over food and drink. I love my local chefs and restaurants. I’m grateful I get to be a small part of a much greater thing. The last two photos are a Cobia the husband speared for family dinner 🥘 so so good 🤤 . Thank you @bluewaterworth @waterhunter71. You guys are incredible leaders in managing and sustaining your fishery.

Episode 4: An extraordinary encounter 🐋 This wasn’t my imagination, again and again it came back to my mind, turned over, and paused in the water, and plainly, they were looking at me. It was an extraordinary minute or so, but it was freaking real, slightly terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. Excitement bubbled in my chest, awe filled my body and tears spilled out of my eyes and into my mask. It was a dream come true. One of the most life changing experiences thus far: Swimming with whales. I could free dive down to them, which intensified the vibrations of the songs in my chest. It felt profoundly spiritual, peaceful, and connected. That was huge. Dolphins got in on the action too. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There was nowhere better to be. I’m at a loss for words. I’m forever changed after this experience. We have to preserve these gentle giants and respect them while admiring them. . . . #gopro #goprohero7 #ocean #whale #oceanlove #saveourseas #oceanlife #conservation #underwater #roamtheoceans #underwaterphotography #makeadifference #canaryislands #grancanaria #saveouroceans #plasticfree #saveourplanet #savetheocean #bethechange #wildlife #nature #sealife #scuba #freedive #marinelife #deepsea #freediving - @dansu92 on Instagram

Seeing sharks swim freely in the ocean creates a true understanding of how much life comes with them. There’s no sign of them “trying to eat everything around them,” in fact they have evolved to clean up the injured and the dead, and to have specific hunting strategies and preferred diets. These 5 fish are swimming with this shark so that when the shark feeds on its prey, the smaller fish will eat the smaller missed pieces, making sure nothing is wasted. In return these trailing fish will clean parasites off this shark. A symbiotic relationship - everyone wins. I believe the human species could learn a thing or two from big blue, everyone wins when we help each other out💙 happy shark awareness day everyone! #shark #sharkawarenessday #silkyshark #wildlife #ocean #bigblue #jupiter #florida #canon #uwphotography - @finalliance on Instagram


Happy Sharkweek! 🦈 Great hammerheads are vulnerable to overfishing. They are caught incidentally and commercially targeted for their valuable fins in longline, bottom trawl, gillnet and hook-and-line fisheries. Great hammerheads are particularly threatened by the global shark fin trade because of the large size of their fins. More than 90 percent of great hammerheads die once they are captured by targeted or incidental fisheries. This high mortality rate, along with the shark’s coastal habitat and highly valued fin, makes the great hammerhead shark endangered with extinction.

This shark is singing for joy because as of last night the Florida shark fin ban has official been signed and will go into effect October 1, 2020. Florida has been the largest export and import of shark fins in the U.S. until now. Luckily the women of @sharkallies and @finalliance took this on and though they were told this would never happen look where we are now. Sharks won... in Florida.

The whale shark feeds mainly on zooplankton by filtration mechanisms in three different ways, reported in most of the aggregations. . . It is about active feeding, passive feeding and stationary feeding (Nelson and Eckert, 2007, Stevens, 2007, Taylor, 2007). . . Which are related to the abundance of zooplankton and the feeding mechanism of the whale shark (Nelson and Eckert, 2007). . . #whalesharks #sharksconservation #wildlifeconservationist #wildlifephotography #food #zooplanktonresearch #biodiversity #marines #lifeadventure #sharklife #biology🔬 #tiburones #naturelovers #animalscience #wildlifeconservation #conservationbiology #helpsavesharks #oceanplanet #seaadventures #worldwild #mexico🇲🇽 #biodiversidade #biodiversidad #rhicondontypus #oceanwaves #saveouroceans #saveourocean #vida #oneplanet #underwater - @whalesharkproject on Instagram

A humpback whale calf playing up at the surface while its mother to moves it along. These whales make a long journey crossing between islands in the south pacific before eventually going to Antarctica. Watching these animals pass less than arms length away, the mother’s eye relaxed and closed is such a humbling experience. Right now I’d normally be running whale swimming trips in Tonga but sadly had to postpone until 2021. next year’s dates are up, link in bio to join me - @dancewithwhales on Instagram

The critically endangered Great Hammerhead holds a special place in my heart. As a child, my first curiosity of the oceans mysteries would be sparked by a magazine article about these unusual looking animals. But it wouldn’t be until almost 30 years later that I would finally have the chance to come face to face with them in Bimini. Diving with great hammerheads is incredible to say the least, but I can’t wait to head back this December to spend some time learning more about them and the many other shark species that call Bimini home from the remarkable humans at @biminisharklab It’s a dream that’s been 30 years in the making! Want to join us this December? Shoot me a DM or check the link in my profile for more details! - @jayclue on Instagram

I really can’t stop thinking about taking photos 🤓 Things I want to get better at: ► Taking Photos 😅 ► Finding my OWN set of colors that I’m obsessed with (work in progress) ► Taking bad photos and being okay with it.. *side note...the fishing line / hook stuck in the shark isn’t cool.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION! How to reduce the chances of an attack - environmental factors from: @sharkgirlmadison www.surfingguidetosharks.com 🦈 Attack attempts vary with changes in depth, natural light, time of day, time of year, wind direction and other factors, thus increasing the danger. 🦈 Flocks of diving sea birds are a good indicator that there is a bait ball offshore, and it is important to look for this and try to avoid surfing any patch of coast where this feeding action may be happening. Putting yourself into a bait ball is putting yourself into a feed frenzy. 🦈 Rainfalls and river mouths can be dangerous when surfing for a number of reasons. After a rainfall, nutrients run into the ocean and bring up fish and other animals to feed. The visibility of the water after rainfall can greatly decrease, which is ideal for ambush predators like sharks to hunt in. 🦈 Increasingly warm waters around the globe due to climate change can also affect sharks. This has been suggested to have influenced the highest number of shark attacks ever recorded in 2015, due to greater interactions between humans and sharks in the water, as temperature changes allowing sharks to coexist in closer proximity to humans. 🦈 Time is also a significant factor in shark attacks, with dusk and dawn being high danger times due to the position of light. Great white hunting habits that have been documented show that they are at a visual and tactical advantage at times of low light such as dusk and dawn as it makes it harder for the prey to spot their camouflage, making it an ideal time for sharks to hunt. 🦈 Please share this information, let’s save lives, surf smart and coexist with nature. ☺️ - @surfriderbondibeach on Instagram

Happy shark awareness day! The 14th of July is a special day dedicated to raising awareness for the plight of sharks around the world. We also celebrate the JAWESOMENESS of these incredible oceanic predators! Did you know that sharks also do their bit to control the threat of global warming? They do more than most as they are biologically charged with keeping prey populations in check. For example, they feed on animals such as sea turtles, who consume huge amounts of sea grass. Sea grass stores large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. But when the turtles population expands at an unsustainable rate, this essential carbon storage is threatened. Sharks, the sea turtles natural predators, are the only ones that can keep this in check. But thats a hard job to do when humans kill sharks in astronomical numbers! www.sharkcagediving.co.za #sharkawarenessday #sharkawarenessday2020 #welovesharks #lockdown2020 #sharksdaily #sharklove #sharkweek #sharkresearch #sharkaholic #sharkpassion #sharkfacts #babyshark #sharkmarineinstitute #whitesharkco - @whitesharkco on Instagram

Shark finning is one of the world’s most destructive fishing practices. According to the Hong Kong Shark Foundation, more than 100 million sharks are caught worldwide every year for their fins and other products, while more than 50% of the world’s shark fin is traded through Hong Kong alone. Now, a new study by researchers at the Florida International University (FIU) has found that much of the shark fin sold in Hong Kong contained unsafe levels of mercury, exceeding government limits. “The mercury levels are, on average, six to 10 times higher than what is considered a safe level of mercury,” says FIU student marine biologist Laura Garcia Barcia, one of the study’s co-authors.

Imagine being in the water with these giants 🐋 - @below.thewater on Instagram

Dwarf Minke Whales has the most complex colour patterns of any baleen whale. The colours are different on each side of the whale and are used as a natural tag to identify individuals. The Minke Whale Project use underwater photographs and video showing both sides of the whales to help them identify individual whales. They also use the help of enthusiastic divers and underwater photographers that donate the photos and get involve in the citizens science program. Really little we know about these animals but with all the data collected during the minke season researchers are able to study: distribution, social groupings, residency times and patterns of movement of the whales. . . . . . @masterreefguides @gbrmarinepark @queensland @australia @mikeballdive #masterreefguides #lovethereef #reeftherapy #thisisqueensland #whale #ocean #whales #nature #whalewatching #sea #wildlife #humpbackwhale #orca #art #dolphin #cetacean #animals #marinelife #photography #love #wildlifephotography #underwater #humpback #sealife #animal #dolphins #travel #naturephotography #whalesofinstagram #bhfyp - @pablocogollos on Instagram

All #smiles 😊 repost from our cofounder @juansharks . Lost at sea in a life jacket and a large shark approaches. @oceanramsey all smiles here knowing that this is a whale shark. This was from a trip to Isla Mujeres years ago. Ocean is in a life jacket because it is required there, which I respect, because of the amount of people and boats that go to this congregation of whale sharks every year. Love that fishermen here stop fishing in this area because they make more money sustainably , taking tourist to see whale sharks in 3 months than they do fishing for a whole year. #sharktourism showing the value of a live shark , which than puts pressure on the government for protection when long term economic growth is at stake. Mahalos to @shawnheinrichs for letting me borrow your life jacket 🤙🏽. #whaleshark #conservation #oneocean #onlyone #sharks #shark #happyplace #lostatsea . .

In celebration of International Whale Shark Day, the UP Marine Biological Society, in cooperation with @lamaveproject is proud to promote whale shark conservation! Whale sharks are an overwhelmingly misunderstood species. Despite being the biggest shark, they feed primarily on microscopic plankton, sieve squid, krill, algae, and small fish. In the wild, the lifespans of whale sharks range between 100 and 150 years. They can also grow up to 20 meters (65 feet) and can weigh up to 20 tons. Known locally as “Butanding” in Tagalog, “Balilan” in Bisaya, “Tuki” in Cebuano, and “Tikitiki” in Waray, whale sharks are commonly observed in certain areas of Cebu, Leyte, Palawan, and Sorsogon, but can also be observed in nearly every tropical ocean-- with 75% of them navigating the waters of the Indo-Pacific region. About 2,000 whale sharks have been identified in the Philippine waters, we are home to the second largest whale shark population on the planet after Mexico. And yet, many of these whale sharks face serious threats. Despite their wide habitat range, long lifespans, and impressive size, whale shark populations have declined 50% in the last 3 generations. In 2016, the species was reclassified as “Endangered” by the IUCN Red List. So what could possibly threaten these bus-sized creatures? For a comprehensive and detailed list of threats to whale sharks and do’s and don’t’s of whale shark conservation, head over to our main pub on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UPMBS/posts/3437657226280560 There are so many things ordinary citizens like you and me can do to champion the preservation of these wonderful creatures. By contributing to whale shark conservation, you are making a stand for sea creatures, seas, and sovereignty. #BuhayDagat #InternationalWhaleSharkDay - @upmbs on Instagram

Freediving: Its the simple joy of being in the present moment, of freedom, of mind and body awareness while experiencing Nature in a way like nothing else. . And just to set the record straight, while Tiger Sharks are listed in the top 5 most dangerous, on average less than 10 people are killed by sharks annually while we kill up to 100 million per year, mostly for their fins, which is turned into shark fin soup. Many shark species are threatened with extinction within our lifetime. #saveoursharks #rehinktheshark #rethinkthepredator . . . a Scott Smith photo of @thesharkwarrior swimming with #tigersharks #getreal #freediving #ononebreath #reconnectwithnature #reconnecttonature #padiambassadiver #wdhof #theexplorersclub #lovesharks #wildlifephotographer #sharkconservation #underwater #freedivingwithsharks #sharks #tigershark @paditv @eliossub @elios_korea @wdhof @the_explorers_club - @thesharkwarrior on Instagram

The Galapagos is one of the most magical places in the world. Recent news of China excessively fishing in the region has gone almost unnoticed and gathered little attention by the worlds media in a Covid saturated environment. Some of the largest whale sharks in the world frequent the Galapagos and its one of the few places in the world where you can actually witness females so large and so heavily pregnant. I took this picture afew years ago back in the Galapagos, you can clearly see her large baby bumps. Sadly these whale sharks are also preyed upon by such fishing fleets, a practice thats not only insanely excessive but absolutely unnecessary.

When there is no wind at all, and the sea becomes perfectly flat, if the storm comes, raindrops turn into diamonds when they hit the surface. Viewed from the deep, only one question remains: does this black tip shark worry about the falling rain? in 2019, as the shark: mock the rain. If climate change continues to bring disaster and desolation, and you need hope to make the right lifestyle choices, look out, beauty is everywhere, even under a rain shower and beauty heals.

Vu depuis le fond, une seule question demeure : ce requin pointe noire se soucie-t-il de la pluie qui tombe ? en 2019, faites comme le requin : moquez-vous de la pluie. Si les changements climatiques continuent d’apporter leur lot de catastrophes et de désolations, et que vous avez besoin d’espoir pour faire les bons choix de vie, regardez dehors, la beauté est partout, même sous la pluie et la beauté soigne. Bonne année à tous. - @laurentballesta on Instagram

Interesting fact - when white sharks get older and bigger their head grows around their eyes so they become less prominent. When sharks have prominent bulbous eyes like this one you can tell it’s a relatively young juvenile. #eyes #oceaneyes #sharkphotography #greatwhiteshark #greatwhitesharks #cagediving #sharkconservation #conservation #underwater #photography #savesharks - @whitesharkocean on Instagram

..not the best picture but I love it , it’s my first tiger shark encounter (for now !)

Te invitamos a leer este artículo publicado en acento.com.do donde exponen los resultados de un estudio, realizado por cinco universidades y el Instituto Australiano de Ciencias Marinas, acerca de la baja población de tiburones, debido a la explotación de la pesca. “Prácticamente no se encontró ningún tiburón en los arrecifes de República Dominicana, Kenia, Vietnam, Catar, las Antillas francesas y las Antillas neerlandesas. En esos lugares tan solo se registraron tres tiburones en más de 800 horas de grabación.” —@acentodiario . . . #reefcheckdr #arrecifesdecoral #vidamarina - @reefcheckdr on Instagram

In 2018, Lucy had this largest armada of pilot fish I have ever seen around a single white shark. In one photo I have of her from this particular day, I was able to count over 60 pilot fish around her! Despite their name, pilot fish don’t actually “pilot” sharks around, rather the appearance of a shark following a pilot fish is based on the smaller fish mimicking the movements of their larger companions. - @iphotographsharks on Instagram

... @juansharks . The second photo in this series was one of my most liked photos so I decided to share the whole sequence. What is really cool about this super close encounter that @oceanramsey had with #sharkIDNikki is that she never had to use her hands to deter Nikki. She uses continual eye contact and body positioning while backing away from Nikki advances toward her. @oceanramsey puts her hands out ready to block her but it was never need.

This caption 🙏🏼 please read and go follow @oneoceandiving @oceanramsey @juansharks #repost @taylorrwalston ・・・ The most dangerous animal in the world. It’s responsible for millions of deaths each year. But it’s not the sharks- it’s humans. Sharks are killed at a rate of 70-100 million per year due to the shark fin trade and other factors such as bycatch and longline fishing. This is not a sustainable number. Because sharks are slow to mature, the damage being done is almost irrevocable. Sharks main role is to pick off the dying, sick, weak and injured to prevent disease in the ocean and keep it healthy. The ocean is responsible for over 70% of the air we breathe. Without their mere presence, reefs are dying as they are not present to scare off prey that eat fish which help to clean the reef. This is a small explanation and one example to a grand scale/scheme of things. Of course there are other factors and many other effects we can see in the ocean where sharks are declining drastically. Don’t let fear be a reason to turn a blind eye or keep you from learning and experiencing something new. I am forever grateful for @oceanramsey @juansharks and my @oneoceandiving team for helping me learn every day, for building my confidence in the water and for giving me a platform to use my voice for them. I still can’t believe I get to do this 🥰 Pictured: me & Ocean with over 50 Sandbar & Galapagos sharks on a bit of a feisty day. It was amazing. Also note that we are looking all around us at all times making constant eye contact with each shark around us.

#Tigersharks along with the #GreatWhiteSharks are the subject of so many of the @NatGeo and Discovery @SharkWeek2020. They are beautiful, big, and a bit mysterious, and lets be honest, also fairly easy to film if you can get them to take an interest in the spot you are filming (food). It helps that they like to be in beautiful, mostly tropical locations. Its is interesting to see how this animal has become a new icon in recent years, nearly catching up to the Great White in the number of shows, it seems. And thanks to the Bahamas, there are probably more images of people diving and freediving with tigers now than ever before. I am glad their reputation is getting a complete makeover. I hope that we can turn that fascination into more and more protection. They need the help. .. . #SaveSharks #Conservation #Sharks #Tigershark #SharkWeek - @stefaniebrendl on Instagram

It is not often I am rendered speechless, but to FINALLY come face to face and meet the Whale Sharks is a true Bucket List moment.

Now this is interesting 🤔 a silky shark captured in offshore waters of Pakistan had a belly full of juvenile green turtle parts (check out pic 2)....to my knowledge this is the first evidence of silkies chowing on a sea turtle. I’m surprised this is not something that’s a common occurrence given the pelagic life stage of small sea turtles and that Mahi mahi that silkies often associate with under floating debris, sargassum etc are regular turtle gobblers. The note was published in the Indian Ocean Turtle Newsletter by Muhammad Moazzam and Hamid Badar Osmany.

So happy to see this rare glimmer of bipartisanship in Congress fully backing a #FinBanNow It’s time we made this important declaration and line in the sand for #sharks - @bradyorca on Instagram

Finally some good news for sharks!! 👏🏽🦈💙 #Repost @shawnheinrichs ・・・ FLORIDA BANS SHARK FIN TRADE - From our friends at @sharkallies and especially my dear friend @stefaniebrendl , an indomitable force for conservation and whose efforts were critical to this success! It’s time to celebrate, Florida is officially the 15th state to ban the shark fin trade! The Kristin Jacobs Ocean Conservation Act (SB680) is now law in the Sunshine State, what will soon be known as the previous hub of the fin trade for the United States. This was no easy feat, to say the least, 2 years of sweat, tears and a couple drops of blood. The journey was filled with tough hurdles and strong opposition, there was not a single easy day in this campaign. But all of us persisted and with this we have proven, once again, that we can succeed if we persist. When we started this campaign we were told that it couldn’t be done in Florida, that there was no point in trying. Well, sometimes it is the toughest fights we have to tackle, just because they usually are the most important ones. When we put our collective power behind an effort, we can do the (nearly) impossible.⠀ ⠀ We cannot thank our Allies enough, you spoke up for sharks every single time we said go! This would without-a-doubt not have been possible without our masterful lobbyists, Senator Travis Hutson, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation team, our seasters at Fin Alliance, the #NoFinFLpartner organizations and last but definitely not least, the ocean warrior herself, Representatives Kristin Jacobs. Without her, there would be no Kristin Jacobs Ocean Conservation Act. Kristins work will always be remembered. We love you, the sharks thank you, Mother Nature thanks you! #extinctionendshere #nofinfl - @respect_the_fin on Instagram

⚠️URGENT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW ⚠️ PLEASE SHARE! ❗️❗️Repost from @karmagawa 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into our rivers and oceans every year & we humans consume, unknowingly, roughly the size of a credit card in microplastics EVERY week! By 2030, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans, all while killing our marine life, wildlife and environment and all this plastic has begun causing major health problems for humans so we must make EVERYONE aware of how bad this crisis is right now! Sadly, this crisis has gotten even worse since the pandemic began in 2020 as the production and use of single-use plastics has increased exponentially this year, and with all the poor waste management systems and overwhelmed recycling facilities around the world, more single use plastic waste is ending up in our rivers and oceans than EVER before! This is a pivotal time in human history and for our planet and it’s we the people who hold the power to fix this before it’s too late in a few years by demanding an end to single-use plastics and refusing to buy anymore plastic TODAY! Please share this URGENT post with your followers and tag people, celebrities, influencers and news media who need to see it and tell them to share it too and let’s all wok together to end plastic pollution RIGHT NOW…remember there is no planet B!

Half a million sharks may have to be killed to immunise the entire world with the Covid-19 vaccine, a shark support group has said. Sharks are harvested for a natural oil that is being used in the Covdi-19 vaccine candidates. This natural oil is called squalene, which is currently used as an adjuvant in medicine - an ingredient that increases the effectiveness of a vaccine by creating a stronger immune response. Around 3,000 sharks are needed to extract one tonne of squalene. . . #coronavaccine #sharks #covid19 #covid19vaccine #health #medication #pandemic #medicine - @indiatoday on Instagram

I have spent the last few days really thinking about #sharkweek. I love it, don’t get me wrong. But it is missing something. I looked it up and last year, 35 million people watched Shark Week! After a week of celebrating these amazing animals, wouldn’t it be great if the last episode was a list of things all 35 million people can do to save our sharks? Sharks are in real trouble. They are being overfished, mutilated for their fins, poisoned, hunted to extinction, and caught as bycatch. Shark is in our pet’s food and in our makeup. We are taking their habitat, warming their waters, and polluting it with our trash. @discovery - You have such a big audience. Next year, can we end Shark Week with a whole episode that is a call to action? A call for conservation. Protection. Respect. For our oceans and our sharks. There are so many shark conservationists doing critical shark saving work - please consider giving them the platform they need to help us help our sharks. I am only 8. I want to watch Shark Week for years to come with my kids someday on the Discovery Channel and not on the History Channel as relic of the past. - @kids_saving_oceans on Instagram

So grateful and excited to have received this JAWSOME gift package from @blufinsharkeducationproject! My friends at Blu Fin are taking action for sharks in any way they can, not only by raising awareness for conservation efforts and educating their followers about sharks, but also by making these fintastic soaps and bracelets! I was lucky to receive a bracelet personalized for @Voice4Sharks, but there are multiple styles available, like “Save Sharks,” “Hammerhead,” “Shark Bait,” and more! The soap smells just like the ocean, and has a very cool sharky touch with the shark swimming inside! The best part? Blu Fin is MATCHING the proceeds from the products, and the money will be sent to a shark conservation organization to #helpsavesharks! 🙌 I believe it’s important to put your money toward a greater cause whenever possible. I recommend you check out their selection and support their efforts to make the world a sharkier place 💙🦈 T-2 weeks until #SharkWeek!

URGENT: 48 hours to tell them to FIX the Reef 2050 plan. The Australian and Queensland Governments have released their Reef 2050 Plan - their main plan to protect our iconic Great Barrier Reef. Yet this plan doesn’t include any real action to stop climate change, the biggest threat to its survival. We have just 48 hours until submissions close.

Great news! Frances minister of ecological transition has announced that the country will be phasing out cetacean captivity! The countrys three dolphinariums are no longer allowed to breed or acquire more cetaceans. She also said that no new dolphinariums will be built in France and that the country was looking at the idea of a sanctuary for the dolphins and three orcas currently in captivity. This is a HUGE step that we hope other countries will follow! #CaptivityKills #DontBuyATicket! - @oceanicpreservationsociety on Instagram

Being in their presence with one breath gave me a moment of transcendence feeling in nature. I was humbled being surrounded by these apex predators in their environment yet the feeling was blissful and mysterious. It is true that nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. If you let your curiousity drives you to understand what scares you, you realize that fear is just a product of your thoughts. It is not real. When you overcome fear you set yourself free.

There are endless amounts of whale sharks and mantas everywhere! It was a little slice of heaven for me to experience! They are all harmless large fish but named shark because of their shape. They feed on the plankton and fish eggs that breed there every year. Some of these beauties were over 30 feet! They can live over 70! They look like they move slow but are impossible to keep up with! . . . #IslaMujeresMexico #gentlegiants #whalesharks #savethesharks #snorkel #adventure #travel #underwater #marineheaven #giantsofthesea #internationalwhalesharkday #naturephotography #discoverocean #oceanlover #gopro #marineconservation #saveourseas - @travelercandyface on Instagram

Taiwan bans fishing the giant Megamouth shark, Great White and Basking sharks. Since the Megamouth shark was discovered and named in 1976, only 226 have been recorded around the world as of June 17 this year — 146 of which were caught in Taiwan. The fishing ban also includes the Great White shark and Basking shark. Taiwan Fisheries made the announcement July 15, in an effort to preserve biodiversity in the waters of Taiwan. The ban is set to apply to all Taiwanese fishing boats, no matter where they fish, and will take effect in less than 60 days if no objections are raised. The country’s Fisheries Agency has stated that although fishing vessels are banned from catching the three species, catching them for teaching or scientific research purposes will be allowed after obtaining Cabinet-level approval from the Council of Agriculture. This follows the Taiwanese ban on fishing Whale sharks in 2018 and shark finning in 2012. Despite these positive measures, Taiwan remains a major player in the world shark fin trade. #Sharkwater #RobStewart #SharkwaterExtinction #Save Sharks - @teamfinfree on Instagram

Happy #MarineLifeMonday! Lancetfish (Alepisaurus sp. which means “scaleless lizard”) are large, oceanic fish that reach lengths of more than 2 meters. While widely distributed, little is known about their biology. However, they have large mouths with 2-3 fang-like teeth accompanied by many smaller teeth, which would indicate that they are predatory. Their body shape and low muscle tone provide scientists with clues indicating that they are most likely ambush predators- surprising their prey rather than pursuing it! #EarthIsBlue #TheMoreYouNOAA #greaterfarallones #fish #marinelife ____ Photo: NOAA, Okeanos Explorer - @farallonesnews on Instagram

Victory! Canada has banned the import and export of shark fins. 🇨🇦👏🏻 Canada is one of the largest shark fin importers outside of Asia, bringing in almost 170,000 kilograms a year. Fins from approximately 73 million sharks a year end up in the global shark fin trade every year, which includes endangered species. 🦈💙 - @haileeturpin on Instagram

HAPPY INTERNATIONAAL WHALE SHARK DAY! Latest repost from @marinemegafauna The need for these depths may have to do with the magnetic navigation mentioned in our previous post – deep dives give the sharks a better positional fix – but there’s likely to be some feeding activity at depth, too. The open ocean can be boring at the surface, but there’s plenty going on in the #mesopelagic depths just a few hundred meters beneath. Literally trillions of lanternfishes, probably the most abundant vertebrate on the planet, live in this twilight zone. #whaleshark - @madawhalesharks on Instagram

There is an art to chumming for sharks in the ocean. @pelagicsafari is one of the best, and shared great knowledge while showing us how it’s done right: One of the most important aspects for an in-water encounter is to make sure that only fish blood and oil is released into the water, and there is nothing the shark can actually eat or taste. The scent of the fish blood and oil will lure the shark from miles away, but making sure the shark cannot taste anything is essential for keeping the shark calm during an in-water encounter. Granted, it is a shark and you should never take your eye off of it when in the water, but smart practices like these help maintain a safe and fun encounter with our ocean friends :) #pelagic #pelagicsafari #blueshark #shark #snorkeling #canon #teamcanon #canonrebel #ikelite #uwphotography #underwaterphoto #sportdivermag #scubadivingmag #uwphotosociety #underwaterphotography #oceanphotography #lonelyplanet #bluewaterphototravel #natgeoyourshot #uwphoto #uwphotographyguide #mexico #cabo - @_scubachad_ on Instagram
