"Extinction crisis of #sharks and #rays to have devastating effect on other species, study finds

Almost two-thirds of sharks and rays living on world’s coral reefs at risk, with 14 of 134 species reviewed critically endangered.
...
“These sharks and rays have evolved over 450m years and survived six mass extinctions but they can’t deal with this fishing pressure,” said Prof Colin Simpfendorfer, a global expert on sharks and rays and one of the study’s main authors from Australia’s James Cook University.
This is not just a few species. This is a broad extinction crisis.”

😢 100 million sharks are killed each year as bycatch. It's an outrageous number.

Let's go on this new technology. 🔴

➡️ The device called 'Shark Guard' reduced shark by-catch by an astounding 91 percent in the study's experiment. ⬅️

"Shark populations in the high seas have fallen by 71% since 1970, researchers have found. The main cause is overfishing, which has put three-quarters of these species at risk of extinction."

the correct answer, tragically, is that about 100,000,000 (100 million) sharks are killed by humans every year, which is about 10% of the estimated total shark population.
According to the journal Science: "Shark populations in the high seas have fallen by 71% since 1970, researchers have found. The main cause is overfishing, which has put three-quarters of these species at risk of extinction."

Each year over the past decade, on average 9 people are killed by sharks. But how many sharks do humans kill every year?

🎣 The #fishing and #aquaculture industry is important for #China’s #economy and the livelihoods of the more than 17 million people who work in it.

💴 How could #finance help manage fishing and support the #sustainable development of the industry?

cui bono? Who benefits? This is a question we should always ask. Who benefits from #Anarchy? Everyone - at least 99% of us. Who benefits from #Capitalism? The 1%.
Who benefits from war? The #MilitaryIndustrialComplex. The people of #Ukraine would benefit from driving out #Russia and ending the war as quickly as possible. The "Defence Industry", whether in the US, Europe, Russia, China, or elsewhere, benefits from a long, drawn-out conflict, like that in #Syria.
Who benefits from the #COP27 agreement, which will further destroy the #climiate? The #FossilFuels industry. Who benefits from environmental destruction? #Agribusiness, the #FishingIndustry ...
There are really countless examples.
Whether you are reading anything from a piece of journalism, to a scientific paper, always, always ask: cui bono? Who benefits?

#ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrisis #EcosystemCollapse
George #Monbiot's latest column absolutely nails it, a must read (and many, many valuable links):
"From the Amazon to Australia, why is your money funding Earth’s destruction? - Fossil fuels, fisheries and farming: the world’s most destructive industries are protected – and subsidised – by governments"
