The Amazon of the ocean is in danger, and it needs your help

shark poaching is going viral, it's time it stopped.

Dear Seaspirians,

Here are this month’s most groundbreaking and revelatory investigations along with international ocean campaigns we support.

This is what makes working at Seaspiracy worth it, shedding light on investigations and then supporting worldwide campaigns that need to come to the forefront. Sharing these reports whilst asking you to take key actions (sending an email or signing a petition) can really change policy and push for stronger regulation. Remember, the fishing industry has been operating under a veil of secrecy, it’s time their shady business comes to light.

⚡️ So please consider becoming a paid reader of the Seaspiracy Observer! So we can continue to deepen ourselves into the murky fishing industry and bring to you actions you can take from the comfort of your home that WILL make a difference.

🕵️ DEEP INVESTIGATIONS

The floating city of trawlers off Argentina’s coast committing 450h of trawling PER DAY

• ⛴️ An investigation into distant fishing fleets of Spain, China and Korea show that there is a floating city right above Argentina’s incredible Agujero Azul biome—known as the Amazon rainforest of the deep. Bottom trawling here is occurring at an astonishing rate of over: 450h per DAY.

• ❌ Investigation reveals many global fisheries have already collapsed.

• 🇨🇦 The Canadian fisheries department to allow fisheries officers to have weapons with them on the ships

  • "Maybe fisheries officers' jobs are changing and ... they are being exposed to situations that are closer to what police officers are exposed to."

• 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Dumped salmon turns island’s coastline into ‘toxic wasteland’.

• 🦈 Greenpeace investigation warns of high levels of shark fishing near Hawai’i on longline vessels

💪 OCEAN CAMPAIGNS

• 🇦🇷 Argentina’s proposal for an MPA ‘agujero azul’ would protect this unique biodiversity from intensive trawling. However, we only have one month for the law to pass, share this petition to make sure Argentina’s senators know the world is watching.

• 🇧🇷 The amazon’s river dolphins and manatees are being killed, and they need your help.

• 🐟 An investigation by BLOOM revealed that canned tuna in Europe has unsafe levels of mercury. They want it off the shelves, and so do we! Sign their petition.

• 🇺🇸 Shark Poaching is an epidemic on social media. Some of the most popular fishing pages on the internet openly and routinely violate legal protections for prohibited species, delaying mandatory releases by pulling sharks' gills or entire bodies out of the water to record social media.
