🎉 YES! This is a major WIN for the oceans and conservationists! Congrats to all who spoke up. #Repost @bluespherefoundation: There will be NO Goliath Grouper Hunt! The FWC Commissioners are keeping protections in place for goliath groupers. So many wonderful groups and people came together to take a stand. 💪💙 Thank you for leading the charge, @jim_abernethy.

There were more non sustainable fishermen at the Stuart hearing but the result was the same...people want the Goliaths to be protected. If you can't make it to a hearing, please make a comment and vote online at myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/rulemaking/workshops . #missiongoliath #savegoliath #saveflorida #saveourseas #voteforenvironment #votegoliath (at Flagler Place)

Here is Destroyer of the Interior Ryan Zinke with one of the four critically endangered Goliath Groupers that were taken from Florida to a Bass Pro Museum in Missouri. Go to a hearing in October and ask WHY? #voteforenvironment #missiongoliath #savegoliath #saveourseas #ryanzinke (at Wonders of Wildlife)

#Repost @oceanicpreservationsociety (@get_repost) ・・・ ❗️CALL TO ACTION❗️ Apex predators are incredibly important to marine ecosystems and one of the biggest factors of their overall health. Unfortunately, Goliath Groupers are frequently described as a bit of a nuisance to fishermen and wrongfully blamed for a decline in fish and lobster stocks, which has given them a bad rep. In reality, studies have shown that overfishing is the real culprit of these declining stocks and THE PRESENCE OF THESE GROUPERS ACTUALLY CREATES HIGHER REEF FISH NUMBERS AND DIVERSITY. Help @jim_abernethy speak up for these apex predators and protect the critically endangered Goliath Grouper! SIGN THE PETITION (link in @bluespherefoundation bio) AND call/e-mail @myfwc!
