Indian Ocean #sharks & #rays remain vulnerable as #IOTC 2024 comes to a close.
Despite days of discussion & initial strong support, the final compromise text diverted from scientific advice & best practice, yet was still not lenient enough for some! Next year? #SharkLeague

Shout out & thanks to the #BigSharkPledge community & fundraisers! After years engaging with Atlantic & Mediterranean #shark & #ray fisheries, we’re now able to extend our reach to the Indian Ocean #IOTC !
And you’ve made it possible!😍🙏
#finsattached #catchlimits

28th Session of Indian Ocean Tuna Commission #IOTC starts today, presenting critical opportunity to consolidate & strengthen safeguards for many of the region’s exceptionally vulnerable sharks. See: bit.ly/IOTCS28 #finsattached #catchlimits #BigSharkPledge #SharkLeague
