Reposted from @blueoceanaction - Reposted from @oneoceandiving - Afraid of ending up as shark dinner? Don’t be! It’s more likely for sharks to end up as human dinner! Shark fin soup is an expensive delicacy that is eaten in China as well as some Chinese restaurants in America. It can cost anywhere from $300 to $2,000, and all for a bowl of soup! Eating sharks has no nutritional value, and in fact it has been found that humans are at risk of acquiring the neurotoxin BMAA (Holtcamp 2012). This is a compound normally produced by cyanobacteria, and apex predators (like sharks) tend to have high concentrations of this because they eat so much including other predators with high concentrations of BMAA (Holtcamp 2012). It is estimated that 1.4 million tons, or around 100 million individual sharks are killed per year for shark finning (Worm et al. 2013). The practice itself is extremely wasteful and inhumane: illegal fisheries have been found to use sea lion flesh to bait the sharks, and once caught the fins are cut and the shark is discarded to either bleed out or suffocate (Schiller et al. 2015). These amazing animals deserve so much better! #speakupforsharks and #bansharkfinning !! #oneocean #oneoceandiving #oneoceanresearch #helpsavesharks Post by: @kaytiegracie Photo by: @paulhiltonphoto Want to learn more?

@oneoceandiving #repost Unlike humans, sharks have teeth that aren’t embedded in their gums (Meyer, 2013). This allows sharks to shed and replace their teeth as they age. The number of teeth a shark will develop and lose throughout their life varies from species to species. Larger pelagic sharks, such as great whites can have over 50,000 teeth though the duration of their ~70-year life (Hamady LL, Natanson LJ, Skomal GB, Thorrold SR, 2014). That many teeth can give people the impression that shark teeth are easily available to us in mass amounts. The truth is, the shiny white teeth commonly sold in stores came from a recently culled shark. The only shark teeth you can get without harming sharks are fossilized teeth that show up on beaches and the seafloor after naturally falling out. Say no to buying shark products! After all, wouldn’t it be weird if we dipped our fins into the water and there were sharks wearing necklaces with human teeth dangling from them? #learntocoexist 📸 by @juansharks Post by @elainewyattt __________________________ Check us out at OneOceanDiving.com & JOIN US in the water in #Hawaii on #Oahu #NorthShore to #SwimWithSharks and #DiveWithSharksInHawaii with a trained #MarineBiologist / #SharkSafetyDiver Check out our #Shark and #MarineResearch @OneOceanResearch and our #Education outreach program @OneOceanEducation #LearnAboutSharks and our Non-Profit @Waterinspired conservation group and Founders: @Juansharks and @OceanRamsey Want to join the team?

GIVEAWAY: Oceanic whitetip sharks have been proposed to be listed as threatened under the endangered species act and you can help by submitting a testimonial (more info below)! Take a screen shot to prove you submitted a testimonial and email it to OneOceanDiving@gmail.com by March 29, 2017 to be entered for a chance to win one of our custom travel bags! ATTENTION: Oceanic whitetip sharks need you! NOAA has recently recommended the oceanic whitetip be listed as threatened under the endangered species act and they need your help! Help this amazing species out and make a difference by submitting comments at the federal register board website (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/29/2016-31460/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-proposed-threatened-listing-determination-for-the). If you cannot find the petition, search for oceanic whitecap proposal on NOAA or go to @blakethompsonphoto for the direct link. Please submit all comments by March 29, 2017! Some good things to add in your testimonials would be facts about the sharks, their population numbers, how they have previously been affected by fishing and finning, etc! Oceanic whitetip sharks (cacharhinus longimanus) are some of the most widespread sharks. Due to their widespread present they have been caught as bycatch in large numbers throughout history (Compagno 1984, Taniuchi 1990, Bonfil 1994, Castro et al. 1999). Their paddle like fins are used for shark fin soup and are priced high in the international fish trade due to the large size, because of these characteristics these sharks are under a lot of fin fishing pressure and they are not as commonly seen in the wild as they used to be. It is important we register and protect these sharks before they go completely extinct! Photo By: Brian Skerry Photo Edit: @blakethompsonphoto Post By: @mayaboxler Want to learn more?

“One of the best experiences of my life...swimming with apex predators in their natural habitat (whilst trying to stay above them to maintain hierarchy & dominance)🙏 They are just so beautiful 😭. I wish we respected & admired sharks in Australia the same way Hawaiian culture does. Thanks @oneoceandiving for making my dreams come true! 🦈🤙🏼” Mahalo for the sweet words about One Ocean Diving, @sianalysha 💙 It was great having you on board & thank you for advocating for sharks. ____________ Want to learn more?

Amazing job by safety diver @taylork.sea who was able to cut this fishing line off a shark today! Although it’s encouraging to see fishermen cutting their lines to free hooked sharks as the hooks will eventually rust out, the trailing fishing line (especially at this length) can potentially entangle sharks like one of our favorites #SharkIDMsAloha or get snagged on the sea floor/passing objects which can be lethal so we always try our best to trim lines on passing sharks or cut them free entirely if possible. Mahalo to all of our recent guests and supporters that enable us to not only take people out to learn about and see the sharks, but also monitor them for entanglement/other threats to help give back to them whenever we can. 💙🦈#ItsTheirOcean Want to learn more?

On our 8am research dive wesaw “Bully” the most confident, male Sandbar shark around. He pushed his was through several much larger Galapagos sharks to make sure we knew he was there. We can identify individual sharks by scars and markings matched in our database. This helps us to better understand individual behavior which gives insight into factors that may affect it.  #sharkresearch #sandbarshark #cagefree #sharkdive #theirocean #SharkID #savesharks #sharkidbully Posts by @brittanyrvzoo Photo 1 by: @brittanyrvzoo Photo 2 by: @juansharks • Want to learn more?

Mahalo nui loa Nici for joining us on a recent tour and speaking up for sharks! We’re thrilled we could share this experience with you and sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience to inspire others 💙 #Repost @malibu1211 ・・・ This was the best day in my life so far. A huge mahalo @oneoceandiving @taylork.sea @blakethompsonphoto for this incredible experience with these beauties. It is really important to save the ocean and protect these beauties. When you are little you get taught that sharks are dangerous and always angry. But they aren't. They are the most beautiful creatures I know. When you respect their home and follow the most most important rule that eyecontact is always necessary when you visit them it is a pleasure to meet and swim with them. How can you help to save the sharks environment? Please reduce your plastic waste. A little step forward from you could be a big one for our environment. I could highly recommend this experience with @oneoceandiving to everyone. I promise after that you will see sharks with different eyes. #oneoceandiving #oneoceanresearch @xcelhaleiwa #xcelwetsuits #waterinspired #dive @one_ocean_designs @oneoceaneducation @oneoceansharks @oceanramsey @juansharks #sharks #helpsavesharks #divewithsharksinhawaii #freediving Stop #sharkfishing No #sharkfinsoup #shark #ocean #hawaii #oahu #haleiwa #divelife #hawaiilife #respecthelocals #sharkstoo #sandbarsharks #galapagossharks #sunandthesea #ilovethisplace #wanderlust #beautifulocean #sealife #neverstoptravelling (at North Shore, Haleiwa, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx3aq0bHjJQ/?igshid=2h7vg65zxwyp

Have you ever tried to hide in plain sight? Sharks do it all the time! Sharks are countershaded, meaning that they have dark backs contrasted with white bellies (Reif, 1985). When looking from above, sharks’ dark colorings conceal them in the dark water, while, from below, their white underbellies blends with the bright, light surface (National Wildlife Federation). Every shark species has varied coloring with different camouflaging effects tailored to their environments and functions. Whale sharks (galeocerdo cuvier), for example, have bluish-gray backs decorated with a white spotted pattern; this unique coloring replicates the appearance of sunlight sparkling through water. In additional examples, both blue and mako sharks have blue backs that camouflage them in their open-sea environments (Helfman & Burgess, 2014). These color patterns disguise sharks visually, enhancing their capabilities to hide from prey or (in some cases) other predators. Post by @skylernuelle  Photo by: @juansharks. • Want to learn more?
