Sharks, turtles, corals, and marine habitats are our nation’s greatest assets. We must protect them for long-term prosperity, not sacrifice them for short-term gain @MFORmv #MaldivesAtUNGA79 #UNGA79 #AgainstLonglining

We commend President @MMuizzu for reversing the Cabinet decision on longlining in the Maldives. This wise choice safeguards the livelihoods of local fishers, supports our vibrant tourism industry, and preserves our precious marine biodiversity #AgainstLonglining @FishermensUnion

Following intense opposition from the general public, fishing communities, tourism stakeholders, unions and environmental organizations, President Dr. Muizzu has decided to revoke the Cabinet decision to permit longline fishing in the Maldives. @governmentmv @MMuizzu @MFORmv @Shiyamaldives @mtucMV @ResilientReefs @bluepeacemv @FishermensUnion @iufap @SolidarityCntr #SaveTheOcean #fisheries #fishing #AgainstLonglining #Maldives

🚨BREAKING: Maldivian Government support local fishers by deciding not to resume longlining. The decision means that Maldives will continue to provide a safe haven for threatened species of sharks, rays and turtles. 🦈 YOUR voices helped make this happen.✊ #AgainstLonglining

The idea of reopening longlining in #Maldives is a bad one for too many reasons. This impacts the whole economy in damaging ways. Campaigners submitted 9 different areas of concern when commenting on the draft regs. Petition grows 📈 #AgainstLonglining🛑 tinyurl.com/apbkkzmv

#Maldives is the ONLY shark sanctuary in W. Indian Ocean. It is 1 of just 17 shark sanctuaries worldwide. Longline fishing captures by-catch indiscriminately -#sharks #mantarays #dolphins #seabirds It's insanity to endorse such carnage! #ClimateCrisis Stand #AgainstLonglining🛑

We have destroyed numerous coral reefs and dive sites to build new resorts. Now, allowing longline fisheries will threaten manta rays, sharks, turtles, and marine mammal populations. #againstlonglining @mohamedseeneen
