#sharksmattertoo

From co-founder @juansharks💙🐢 ・・・ #Hawaii #GreenSeaTurtle #sunset In hawaii sea turtles are protected as endangered animals. Thanks to that protection sea turtles have made a recovery in Hawaii. Today at work I watch a baby hammer head shark killed and used for bait. Hammer head sharks are endangered but don’t have the same protection here. All I could do in this situation was go and talk to the fishermen and let him know how important sharks are to the health of our ocean , because I took the time, the fishermen said he would let any others caught today free. One day I hope sharks can have equal protection to sea turtles. A Huge Mahalos for my team @oneoceandiving for giving me a minute to go talk to the fishermen during work. #sharksmattertoo #helpsavesharks I got this photo using my @aquatech_imagingsolutions with @canonusa 600ex flash and 1Dxmark 2 With a 16 to 35mm lens. #teamcanon (at Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_NJxdHRF2/?igshid=sqhbp0asn2gk

#Repost @oceanramsey ・・・ Join the #SharksToo campaign and win a free pareo or t-shirt (see last photos) For many years I’ve talked about how people love and care about dolphins, whales, turtles, monk seals, etc but when it comes to the health of those populations and marine ecosystems sharks are also a vital component too, they matter too, they need and deserve protection too. They need your help and voice too. Please join in helping sharks to get protection too. Use the hashtag #SharksToo and #SharksMatterToo and #ProtectSharksToo Sea cucumbers and many species of fish even have catch/kill limits, there are currently no limits/bans or protection for sharks in Hawaii aside from taking their fins. How to support and get involved with this campaign: -Please like and share some of these images or create some of your own and keep using the hashtags -Encourage people to support the Hawaii Shark bill HB808 for protection of sharks and rays.
