Every year, tens of thousands of blue sharks are caught and killed.
These awesome swimmers travel long distances across international boundaries and this leaves them particularly vulnerable – especially since there are no global rules about catching these amazing creatures.
The U.S. has some protections in place for blue sharks. But sharks swim in many countries' waters, so international protections are vital.
We have to do more than pass local and national measures to protect sharks. The US will soon be attending a meeting with the power to create international shark regulations, where we have a real chance to make a difference.
Speak up by November 8 to protect vulnerable sharks in the Atlantic Ocean.
