On one side of the marina was a sign welcoming visitors to this proud tourist destination, and inviting them to enjoy a spot of whale watching. On the other was a large mako shark, recently caught, strung up and bleeding on a gantry.
Well over 300 mostly common dolphins have been recorded washed up dead on the Atlantic coast of England, France and Ireland in the first two months of 2017.
Blue Planet Society are championing the black-legged kittiwake in Arkive’s 2017 #LoveSpecies campaign.
Pair-trawling involves two fishing vessels dragging between them a single large net with a small mesh. It is an activity which has lately been going on in sheltered inshore bays and estuaries along the Irish west coast, such as Cork Harbour and Kenmare Bay.
It may surprise you that 100 million sharks are killed by people each year. What might surprise you further is that this is a conservative estimate and the number may in fact be as high as 273 million. That’s a whopping 31,164 sharks killed per hour by humans.
Last month, a major automobile company in the US offered a new luxury pickup truck to the person who could catch a record-sized shark in the North Atlantic Monster Shark Tournament. What were they thinking?
On the March 23, 2016 an illegal Chinese-flagged fishing vessel, the Fu Yuan Yu 076, entered the Exclusive Economic Zone of China, crossing into the South China Sea across the famed Nine-Dash Line.
Seahorses are so instantly recognisable that they almost need no introduction. Creatures of myth and storybook, it comes as a surprise to many people that they are in fact fish, complete with gills and fins.
