"Last month at #CITESCoP19, world leaders voted to provide protections for 60 #shark species, including blue sharks. This decision means these species can only be traded if their stocks are proven to be sustainably managed. With the exception of a 2019 catch limit set under the jurisdiction of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (#ICCAT) #RFMO, #bluesharks are fished without any limits."
