The Scalloped Hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) currently is classified as endangered on the IUCN red list of Threatened Species. Highly sought after in the finning trade due to their high fin count (IUCN, 2007). These coastal and semi-oceanic species circulate between coastal warm temperate waters and tropical seas. All life stages of Scalloped hammerheads are threatened, the pups and juveniles by the high rates of bycatch near coastal waters, while adults are caught in gillnets and longlines along the oceanic shelfs. Hammerhead fins were found to account for 4-5% of the shark fin count in Hong Kong’s trading center, the largest in the world (IUCN, 2007). It is estimated between the numbers of 1.3 and 2.7 million scalloped Hammerheads fins are found in the fin trade annually (IUCN, 2007). Understanding the migratory patterns and pupping areas of Scalloped Hammerheads could result in the most efficient way in protecting this key predatory species.  (IUCN, 2007) Post by @carlytrapanese Photo by @juansharks ____________ Want to learn more about sharks or adoption visit our website: OneOceanDiving.com & JOIN US in the water in #Hawaii on #Oahu’s #NorthShore to #SwimWithSharks and #DiveWithSharksInHawaii with a @OneOceanDiving trained #MarineBiologist / #SharkSafetyDiver Check out our #Shark and #MarineResearch @OneOceanResearch and our outreach program @OneOceanEducation #LearnAboutSharks and our Non-Profit @WaterInspired conservation group and Founders: @Juansharks and @oceanramsey Want to join the team?

Check out these amazing sculptures created by Mr. Shepherd-Jones’ 8th grade class! Mahalo nui for sharing with us 😊The students were instructed to go out into their community for a beach cleanup in Waimanalo and create a collage in the image of an animal of their choice threatened by marine debris to raise awareness. We love creative ideas like this that help engage the younger generation in this important issue, after all it’s their future and at the current rate of approximately 8million tons of trash entering the ocean every year there will be plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Get involved by reducing your consumption of single use plastics no matter where you live, cleanup your local beach, park or street, and if you are on Oahu join us Saturday the 9th from 12-3pm at Electric beach for our monthly reef and beach cleanup! Come create a collage like these or the #NerdsAgainstNurdles challenge to receive awesome prizes from our generous sponsors!
