My friend Coral, a young goliath grouper, resident to a reef in the Florida Keys. There were once countless groupers here, of all different species. They’ve been hunted nearly to extinction. Like the few living coral formations on her reef, she survives here in defiance of us.

I’m on a shipwreck in the Florida Keys, 6 miles offshore and 100 feet underwater. All the megafauna are maimed and mangled with hooks. This reef shark has one in her cheek. She’s dragging at least 10 feet of fishing line.

Monk seal attacker’s lawyer says he was radicalized by extremist anti-pinniped rhetoric from fishermen and politicians in Washington: “He lives in Washington State, he’s a fisherman… and if you’re familiar… if you’ve ever been to Seattle… the sea lions are very aggressive.”

The majestic goliath grouper, Earth’s largest reef fish, threatened with extinction — and Florida is selling tickets to kill them. I’m posting grouper videos all week until everyone in Florida knows they can apply for a tag to save a grouper for $10 until Thursday.

The Cove (2009) Hayden Panettiere joins a direct action to paddle out and obstruct the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji. Japan Times coverage of this action helped drive local opposition that shut down a proposal to scale up the industry with a dolphin slaughterhouse. RIP

Every time this ridiculous corporate talking point goes viral, I will repost this video of Kanpur, where the Ganges runs black with poison discharge from leather tanning and people develop cancer as children.

It’s critical to shut down this dangerous narrative that ICE is undertrained. Law enforcement training teaches cops to fear the public and kill civilians with confidence. They don’t need to be trained, they need to be tried.

With a team of nearly 300 divers, we removed: • >500 pounds of lead • hundreds of feet of line • multiple hooks from the mouth of this young nurse shark accumulated in one year under a *single fishing pier*. You don’t hate fishing enough.

Seen these videos going around of “shark rescues”? They’re all staged for clicks — and sharks are being killed to make them. In this video, I review evidence of hundreds of instances of illegal shark poaching on social media. Sign our petition:

Florida is taking extreme measures to stop cities from passing shark fishing bans, announcing it will now consider them illegal, after nearly 20 years of respecting local regulations. Meanwhile blatant shark poaching videos fill the internet & FWC refuses to enforce state laws.
