Some fishing methods absolutely can have high bycatch/non-target catch. Longlining is deploying thousands of baited hooks at once- you don't just get tuna, you also catch sharks and turtles swimming near the tuna.
There are ways to minimize this impact, and places we shouldn't use this gear. 🦑🧪

There’s a bill in the senate right now designed to revive the US shark longlining industry.
Today we’re launching a campaign to stop it and this film trailer to expose this American shark cull conspiracy.

BREAKING: In 2023 alone, at least 438,500 blue sharks were killed by longlining — a destructive fishing method that sets tens of thousands of baited hooks at once, resulting in massive amounts of bycatch.
…That’s x110 times the size of Mt Everest if you stacked them nose to tail. 🦈💔

NOAA Fisheries is poised to bring back commercial shark longlining in the US.
The sport fishing lobby bitched so much about sharks biting fish off hooks that they convinced NOAA to review a critical shark protection.

And over in the Tasman Sea, longlining is a stark example of unsustainable practices threatening marine biodiversity.
But there is hope. The #GlobalOceanTreaty is a historic opportunity to protect marine life in the high seas!

The sandbar shark has acted as an umbrella species for the past ~20 years in the US Atlantic.
The retention ban on this species, the primary target of directed shark longlining, has protected thousands of endangered sharks, turtles, sawfish, and more from being killed by seafloor longlines.
