We are pleased to announce that Blue Planet Society have succeeded in forcing almost all the major corporate sponsors of USA shark tournaments to withdraw their support from these competitive shark-killing events.
Today, June 5th, is World Environment Day and at Project Seagrass we are happy to announce the launch of our GLOBAL Citizen Science smartphone app – SeagrassSpotter.org.
Responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths every year, entanglement in fishing gear is the single biggest threat to dolphins, porpoises and whales (collectively known as ‘cetaceans’). The EU is deciding on future measures to end this bycatch, as it compiles and rolls a number of fisheries conservation measures into one piece of legislation.
No-one knows how many common dolphins die each year in fishing gear in the Northeast Atlantic. From strandings data, French and UK scientists have calculated that it’s thousands. These deaths have been recorded each year for the last 30 years. That’s three decades of inadequate action.
Thousands of short-beaked common dolphins are being killed by fishing vessels targeting pelagic fish species in EU waters. This barbaric practice is referred to as ‘bycatch’ by the fishing industry.
Along with 17 million Brits, I ended the year watching in awe as Sir David Attenborough and the Blue Planet II team showed us spellbinding images of an underwater world “beyond our imagination”.
2017 has been a promising year in the fight against ocean plastic pollution. We’ve seen positive changes across all levels of society. From individuals protesting to their local authorities to organisations replacing single-use plastic with eco-friendly alternatives.
Life history concerns the timing and patterns of growth, survival, and reproduction of an organism. Parameters include gestation duration, physical size, brain size, growth rates, age of weaning, age of sexual maturity. Cetaceans exhibit some of the most fascinating life history traits among mammals and these traits set the stage for every facet of social living.
