Steve Backshall signs the No Limits? petition.
No Limits? appeals to the public to support the adoption of science-based catch limits for those species currently without management. Action is needed before it’s too late and today’s commercial shark species follow other previously abundant Atlantic stocks into collapse. Don’t forget that although the campaign focuses on EU fishing vessels this is a global issue, which will affect shark populations worldwide.
PETITION – In March 2017, the Shark Trust delivered over 130,000 signatures to the EU Commission, all calling for an end to uncontrolled shark fishing. To date, we have focused our efforts on the Blue Shark as it is caught in such vast numbers, but now, we’re bringing the Shortfin Mako into the spotlight with the No Limits? Mako’ver. Sign the petition to call for international limits for Shortfin Mako based on scientific advice.
