It’s #WorldFisheriesDay — thanks all the #fishers who, despite all hardships, still make the effort to protect the #sharks and rays their nets catch by accident.
Living Together is @LifeEUsharks motto — people and sharks, sharing the same sea.

On #WorldFisheriesDay we went on national TV to show how #fishers, officers and chefs are stepping up to help sharks and rays — from reducing accidental catches to offering shark-free menus.

The power of charismatic #sharks: helping the overlooked and the unprotected.
Meeting US students at @StAnnaInstitute on how @LifeEUsharks -while concentrating on protected species- also helps those that are just as threatened, but not yet protected #smoothhound

Only 6 ISRAs are known for eagle rays in the Med.
Now 9 more hotspots emerged - in Italy alone!- through @LifeEUsharks #citizenscience campaign! Not random sightings but regular, seasonal presences - strong enough to propose as new #ISRA. And that's just the beginning! #EEA2025

#Sharks have been part of the Mediterranean for millions of years. On #GeodiversityDay, take a look at this 1.2-million-year-old #mako tooth found near Rome! We’re working to safeguard its descendants, and those that will swim in tomorrow’s Mediterranean.

It’s #AngelsharkDay! 🦈
We celebrate one of the Med’s most elusive and threatened #sharks.
In Corsica, our partner @OFBiodiversite (Parc Marin Cap Corse-Agriate) involves fishers, kids & citizens to protect its last stronghold in France.

There are 5 #Olympic medals in this picture - and they all hang on #GregorioPaltrinieri’s neck (left). He’s a legendary swimmer - and he’s now an ambassador for Mediterranean #sharks and rays! thanks Greg - only a #mako can keep up with you 😍

CLIMATE CHANGE, MARE E BIODIVERSITA'
Queste foto mostrano lo stesso punto del golfo di Napoli prima e dopo le ondate di calore di agosto. A distanza di due mesi. Serve altro per documentare gli effetti del #climatechange?
