SHARKPROJECT News.

World Tuna Day is a reminder that the choices on our plates are connected to life beneath the surface.
Tuna are not just a popular food source. They are powerful ocean predators, part of complex food webs, and often linked to wider conservation issues such as overfishing and bycatch of sharks, rays, turtles, and seabirds.
It is not always easy to change habits or food preferences, and nobody is perfect. But every conscious decision matters. Choosing more responsibly sourced seafood, reducing unnecessary consumption, and learning where our food comes from can help shift industries that are harmful to our oceans.
Protecting tuna also means protecting sharks, marine ecosystems, and the balance of ocean life.
This World Tuna Day, let’s choose with awareness. 💙

Marine Protected Areas are a key tool in ocean conservation, helping to safeguard biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and support sustainable use of marine resources.
From protecting critical habitats to enabling species recovery and spillover effects, their success depends on thoughtful design, effective management, and ecological connectivity.
Ultimately, healthy oceans rely on connected ecosystems where protection goes beyond boundaries and supports life across the entire marine system.

Today we celebrate Earth Day; an opportunity to consider the health of the world and our duty to protect it. The Earth Day Network mobilises millions of people worldwide to support environmental justice, conservation, and climate action.

As apex predators, sharks are essential to the health of our oceans. Their conservation is important because of their function in maintaining food webs, safeguarding coral reefs, and boosting biodiversity.

Shark populations are currently declining alarmingly worldwide. Every year, shark finning and targeted fisheries kill millions of animals, while habitat degradation and climate change exacerbate the situation. The end effect is fewer sharks, poorer ecosystems, and increased susceptibility for the planet’s blue carbon systems.

Shark conservation is an effective approach that strengthens ocean resilience and ensures the planet’s future, highlighting the interdependence of human wellbeing, biodiversity, and climatic stability.

This Earth Day, recognising that saving sharks is equated with protecting the Earth, serves as an important call to action for everyone.
