Credit to from @pashence_marie (@get_regrann) - Luck was on our side during day two of our research expedition with @finsattached. @j.kowitz and I were diving and exploring the beautiful waters of Costa Rica when greeted by this beautiful juvenile whale shark.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Whale sharks are considered endangered by the IUCN. It’s estimated that there are only about 7,100 whale sharks in the ocean. Sadly, even the whale shark, the worlds largest shark is a victim of by-catch from trolling nets, also in some areas they are still hunted for their fins. Due to having the largest fins of all sharks it holds an extremely high price at market.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I want to take a second to thank all the non-profit organizations like @finsattached that pour their heart and soul into protecting our oceans. It’s been a humbling and eye-opening experience watching the researchers and scientists tag, document, and gather the data needed to make changes to save and protect oceans. ⁣⁣ #finsattached #finsattachedmarineresearch #teamsharkwater #whaleshark #whalesharks #costsarica #wildlife #protectwildlife #wildlifeconservation #instaearth #ilovetheocean #oceanlover #bansharkfinsoup #costaricadiving #underwaterphotography - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NUsp1Fl3W/?igshid=1x15kpvus7jp1

Repost from my great friend and hardcore shark conservationist @sharkguardian_mel // Please follow her for great ways to save sharks! She is truly an amazing powerhouse of conservation! I have been speaking with people about sharks ending up in makeup and a high percentage of them thought that sharks for Squalane/Squalene were taken from bycatch, but this is a false assumption. Three million deep sea sharks are targetted and killed just for their livers each year. These are threatened species and if somehow the livers were taken from sharks in bycatch...it would be better but even then, there's nothing sustainable about killing sharks. · · ❎ Did you know that it takes 6 000 sharks to create one ton of Squalene/Squalane? The global demand for this oil is 1 000 - 2 000 tons per year! Don't be fooled into thinking Squalane is sustainable and plant derived because it is created by using shark liver oil(Squalene). If the sourcing of the Squalane is not revealed then it is shark-derived. Please speak up for sharks!! ❎ · · 33 % of open-water sharks are facing extinction and if we dont change the way we life our life, we could destroy the very existence of an animal we cannot afford to lose. Educate yourself, your family and friends. Care about the disappearance of sharks because if they go extinct, life in the sea will end and so will everything on land. · #Shark #Conservation #Teamsharkwater #sharkfree #makeup #cosmetics #savesharks #helpsavesharks #Squalane #Squalene - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv66rDPFVfr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kh5c5w1a3usm

Rob Stewart was a biologist, conservationist, photographer, author, and filmmaker who had a passion for the ocean and is someone that many look up to. He is very relatable and a good mentor. Within the first 5 minutes of his first major film “Sharkwater,” I had never related more to something in my life. This quote above is one of the most humbling quotes. We as humans haven’t existed on Earth for even a small fraction of time compared to sharks. Sharks are so intelligent and we’re slaughtering them minute by minute every day. Why do we humans let greed overcome us and not the good? Rob Stewart is an inspiring human being and we all need to be and think more like him. Rob’s legacy lives on. This is a post from @teamsharkwater on Instagram.

#Repost @theflora_faunaproject (@get_repost) ・・・ I heard the sad news about the tragic passing of Rob Stewart, a Canadian filmmaker, prominent conservationist and creator of @teamsharkwater a day ago, and his untimely death affected me. I felt that today's painting should be a shark.. For all the work you've done to change the world's understanding of a very misunderstood animal, and for the sacrifice of your life to the pursuit of this cause, this hammerhead shark is for you Rob. Rest in peace. . . . . #29 #robstewart #teamsharkwater #hammerheadshark #shark #saveourseas #conservation #nature #ocean #beautifulsharks

#Repost @thehbb with Please know Rob's family is exhausted, I'm volunteering to do this. I used to work for Rob's folks before I started my family. There is additional comprehensive info in my feed and online via Google with regard to everything from the coordinates of the search location to a pic of the drysuit Rob was wearing. If you are in #islamorada #southflorida area and you can assist with #searchandrescue they need help. Rob disappeared while his diving buddy was in the midst of a medical emergency. The other divers were distracted, apparently lost sight of Rob. Tons of details online. It's believed he is on the surface. He is wearing a black drysuit which is difficult to see from the air. This is NOT a hoax. Please see news items on Rob Stewart via Google.

Stop 🛑... Posted @withregram • @teamsharkwater Shark Squalene in Covid-19 test vaccines! Over 180 Covid-19 vaccines are in test trials and at least 5 have been confirmed to contain shark squalene. Shark squalene, found in the livers of sharks, can be replaced with vegetable alternatives. Shark numbers are already at risk, and our planet would not be able to sustain the demand to vaccinate the world. We need enough sharks to vaccinate 7 billion people on the planet, with 2 doses each. A limited number of sharks means limited vaccinations, which will most likely leave out people in low-income communities, often people of color. Please sign the petition to replace shark squalene with vegetable alternates through the test stages. We need to be able to vaccinate and eradicate this terrible virus across the world, not just for those who can afford it. The sharks that are targeted are already vulnerable; some are even on the endangered species lists. Sign the petition from our friends at @SharkAllies Shark Allies Founder and Executive Director Stefanie Brendl said: “Harvesting something from a wild animal is never going to be sustainable, especially if it's a top predator that doesn't reproduce in huge numbers.” #savesharks #sharkfreevaccines #RobStewart #sharkwater https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsUO02BXdo/?igshid=1vkh0t5vxiwzp

#Repost from our conservation friends at...@teamsharkwater @download.ins --- Congrats Hawaii who continues to lead the US in shark protections! Shark fishing is illegal in the state as of January 1st. The State of Hawaii’s Division of Aquatic Resources has announced that shark fishing is officially banned, thanks to a bill passed in 2021 by the State legislature. Act 51 makes it illegal to contain, entangle, or kill all shark species in state marine waters. In 2010, Hawaii became the first U.S. state to ban the possession, sale, trade, and distribution of shark fins. A shout out to @senatordonovandelacruz who led the initiative and @govhawaii David Ige who signed the new law into effect. This bill will help protect all sharks from being fished and finned in state marine waters. This law is aimed to protect young shark species at risk of being overfished. The Division of Aquatic Resources Administrator, Brian Neilson, said in a statement, “Our Department is well aware of how important sharks are to maintain healthy marine ecosystems. And we recognize their importance for native Hawaiian cultural practices and beliefs.” To help integrate this new law, the DNLR may implement specific regulations such as “ensuring that the incidental capture and release of sharks while targeting other species is not a violation; preventing the wanton waste of sharks; and limiting gear such as gill nets, in areas identified as shark nursery habitats.” Anyone caught breaking the law will be subject to a misdemeanour accompanied by a hefty fine. First-time offenders will face a $500 fine, second-time offenders will receive a $2,000 fine, then third and repeated offenders will receive a $10,000 penalty per offence. #robstewart #sharkwater # sharks # fin free #sharkfree # mainline #nature #stopsharkfinning #savesharks #sharkwaterextinction #marinewildlife #pangeaseed (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/wildlifevoiceinc/p/CZIs14fuzcN/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎥: @teamsharkwater • 150 million sharks are killed annually by humans 🦈 ~ Bycatch ~ Sport ~ Shark finning/meat/gill trade ~ Cosmetics e.g. deodorant, lipstick, moisturiser, vaccines, pills, supplements, lip balm, sun cream, to name a few include Shark Liver oil also known as squalene/squalane • Do you realise if you eat fish you likely unknowingly contribute? Did you know there was shark in your make up? Are you aware that endangered shark is being sold in UK fish and chip shops as fish? ...and this is before we even mention climate change... • Rob you were a beautiful being ✨ • #sharkwater #sharkwaterextinction #sharkwaterextinctionfilm #extinction #shark https://www.instagram.com/p/B2j7Hd8I0Dg/?igshid=yzpq6jr4e9be

#Repost @theflora_faunaproject (@get_repost) ・・・ Oh boy... I had intended on painting SEVERAL sharks over the week, but instead have been putting in time each day hammering out (ha ha) this not-so-little little dude ( 11x7.5"). I finally decided to call him done today, as he seems to be one of those pieces that could just keep demanding time and brush strokes. I think I delivered on the big, and the goofy, promised earlier this week in my Instagram story. Either way, I like him and his snappy bow tie!
