FACT: The global abundance of oceanic sharks and rays has declined 71% over the last 50 years, primarily due to overfishing. Many of our best-known and much-loved sharks make their home on the high seas, the open ocean beyond national borders. In our shared ocean, these oceanic sharks and rays face a very real threat from a huge international fleet of industrial-scale fishing vessels. The Big Shark Pledge is at the heart of our ambitious campaign. By adding your voice we can build one of the biggest campaigning communities in the history of shark conservation. To put pressure on governments and fisheries. And make the positive changes required to safeguard these awesome sharks. Take action today by heading to to sign the pledge. #bigsharkpledge #shark #sharkconservation #sharks #hammerheadshark #oceanicshark #mantaray #nature #sealife #marinelife #seacreatures #marineconservation #savesharks #sharkdiving #sharklife #sharklover #sharkconservation #sharklove

Love Hammerhead Sharks? Here’s a cool fact for you! Did you know that their unique hammer-shaped head (a.k.a. cephlafoil) improves their manoeuvrability? As the position of their eyes enables them to see 360°. But the sad fact? These oceanic sharks and rays face a very real threat from a huge international fleet of industrial-scale fishing vessels. But we are DETERMINED to make the positive changes required to safeguard these awesome sharks. Please help protect Hammerhead Sharks by adopting this High Seas Hero in support of the Big Shark Pledge (link in bio). 🔗 Thank you for your support 💙🦈 📸 Laura Crobe #bigsharkpledge #sharkconservation #savesharks #rayconservation #oceanicsharks #highseasharks #sharkart #oceanconservation #discoversharks #shark #sharks #ray #nature #sealife #marinelife #marineconservation #sharkdiving #sharklove #hammerhead #hammerheadshark

Oceanic Whitetips are mostly solitary animals. Although they do occasionally hunt in groups. These are organised group hunts, during which Whitetips cooperate in hunts and strategically take turns in attacking prey. Whitetips are incredibly inquisitive. Unfortunately, this means they are easy to catch. We're on a mission to put a STOP to overfishing, but we cannot do this without your help. Please consider adopting an Oceanic Whitetip Shark to support our biggest campaign yet - The Big Shark Pledge. 📸 Laura Corbe #bigsharkpledge #sharkconservation #savesharks #rayconservation #oceanicsharks #highseasharks #sharkart #oceanconservation #discoversharks #shark #sharks #ray #nature #sealife #marinelife #marineconservation #sharkdiving #sharklove #oceanicshark #oceanicwhitetip #whitetipshark
