There aren’t plenty more fish in the sea.

The race is on to save sharks and other key marine species – including swordfish, marlin, monkfish and skates/rays – from being wiped out by overfishing. 73,000,000 sharks are slaughtered every year. That’s around 200,000 sharks a day. Or roughly two every second. Unless something changes, sharks could become a thing of the past. We’re not going to let that happen.

Choking to death

Sharks have been swimming in the oceans since before dinosaurs walked the earth. They’ve shaped the marine environment and everything in it. Without sharks the oceans could collapse, taking with them their ability to produce 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb 20% of the CO₂ emissions we produce. With every shark slaughtered we’re strengthening our stranglehold on the planet.

Too many fishing boats, too few fish The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently reported that 85% of the world’s fish stocks are fully exploited or overexploited. It’s the big fish that will disappear first. That’s why we’re focussing on key species that are most vulnerable to overfishing yet widely available in shops and restaurants.

Join us and help protect our blue planet.

Tyranny of the Mob

Trolls are turning the web into a cesspool of aggression and violence. What watching them is doing to the rest of us may be even more harmful. […] The Internet’s personality has changed. Once it was a geek with lofty ideals about the free flow of information. Now the web is a sociopath with Asperger’s. If you need help improving your upload speeds it’s eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you’re struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself. Psychologists call this the online disinhibition effect, in which factors like anonymity, invisibility, a lack of authority and not communicating in real time strip away the mores society spent millennia building. And it’s seeping from our smartphones into every aspect of our lives.

The people who relish this online freedom are called trolls […] Internet trolls have a manifesto of sorts, which states they are doing it for the […] laughs. What trolls do for the [laughs] ranges from clever pranks to harassment to violent threats.[…] Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny.
