BIG wins for sharks - but the fight isn't over. 🦈

2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for shark conservation:

✅ 70+ shark & ray species just received enhanced international trade protections under CITES; including whale sharks and manta rays. Conservationists are calling it "a historical win."

🗺️ A new IUCN global map identified 816 critical shark & ray habitats that urgently need protection, covering less than 3% of the ocean, proving how achievable this goal really is

⚡ Researchers at Florida Atlantic University developed a breakthrough shark-repellent device that slashes bycatch by up to 70% without harming target fish species.

🚨 Just days ago, Brazilian police seized 1.5 metric tons of illegal shark fins, dismantling an international trafficking syndicate. The ocean is watching.

Sharks have roamed our seas for 450 million years. They regulate ecosystems, cycle nutrients, and help keep our oxygen supply alive. We owe them more than we know.
