If you're interested in #sharks #fisheries #conservation, there's some news out of the #WCPFC recent meeting (the org that manages #tuna in the western & central Pacific, & also sorta sharks...but the latter not so well). They finally agreed to stop using a certain gear that really is for shark #fishing (wire leaders) but of course there was a pretty big loophole (if you're N or S of 20 deg latitude, it doesn't apply). Anyhoo, here is an article about it from #Mongabay: https://news.mongabay.com/2022/12/shark-fishing-gear-outlawed-across-much-of-pacific-in-win-for-conservationists/

The US and #Canada are seeking a ban in the Pacific on two #fishing devices, known as wire leaders and shark lines, that have proven devastatingly effective at catching huge numbers of #sharks. #WCPFC
